Yes you may restart your gym activities but take time to build up your strength. Core strengthening exercises with spine and hip mobility exercises must be a part of your warm up. Avoid squatting with weights on your back - instead of which you may do the leg press . Shoulder press with back support. Avoid abs for the next six months .
Next Steps
Acclimatise yourself to the gym again. Start from basics and work your way up. Best of luck !
