Is it right to say, "While I was back on my way home, ..."?

I think it is a bit awkward!

    Something like "While I was on my way home" would work fine.

    You wouldn't really say it that way, because you weren't "back on your way", you were "on your way back".

It's pretty close but your word order is a bit off.

"While I was on my way back home," would work better. If the context is something like "While I was on my way back home, I saw two cats on a fence.

The more fluid way to say that would be "While I was on my way home, I saw two cats on a fence"
