Had laser surgery for pilonidal sinus a month ago but now there's pus and pain in the same spot again. Does this mean the surgery didn't work? What are my options for a permanent fix?

Had left side indirect inguinal hernia surgery last June and now getting back into weightlifting and core exercises. Is it safe to start or could this increase the risk of the hernia coming back?

Yes, it's generally safe to resume weightlifting and core exercises after hernia surgery, especially after a laparoscopic repair, but it's crucial to do so gradually and under the guidance of your surgeon. Starting too soon or with improper technique could increase the risk of recurrence or complications.
