in this case you need a simple Validation rule on your custom object like this:
ISCHANGED( Custom_field1__c ) && $User.Id <> OwnerId
You can perform this check in the trigger too but the Validation rule way performs the same result.

I think that the immediate simple way is to configure OWD for your custom object to Read-Only but with this no one user exept owner can modify the record.
Is this your requirement ?
In Sharing settings specify OWD for this as Public Read Only.
Deselect Grant Access Using Hierarchies.
Make sure In profile, View All Modify All permision is not given. However, some users—such as those with the “View All” and “Modify All” object permissions and the “View All Data” and “Modify All Data” system permissions—can still access records they don’t own.
I am looking for a solution which doent not involve profile changes.
