Hey, I understand your concern, usually the pain occurring during squats mainly due to improper posture while doing exercises, which affects mechanical forces acting across the knee leading to pain.
Next Steps
So try correcting the postures while exercising with the help of professional. Carry out quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises.

When doing squats and lunges, you need to flex/bend your knees more than while walking and climbing stair.
As you are having pain for the last two months while doing so, try to avoid for atleast two weeks.
Next Steps
Avoid Squats and Lunges for two weeks.
