Based on the concern, it appears your daughter may have increased lumbar lordosis, which can make the bum look more prominent and belly slightly forward. This is common in growing children and is usually related to weak core and glute muscles and tight hip flexors.
Next Steps
Get a postural assessment done by a physiotherapist.
Check for flat feet or walking pattern issues, as they can influence spinal posture.
Health Tips
Core strengthening: Planks (10–15 sec x 3), Dead Bug, Bridging
Glute strengthening: Hip bridge, mini squats
Stretching: Hip flexor stretch, hamstring stretch (daily 30 sec x 3)
Posture training: Practice standing with ribs over hips and avoid excessive arching
Encourage sports like swimming, cycling, running.
With consistent exercises and posture awareness, posture can improve well at this age.
If needed, visit a physiotherapist for a customized program.

Hi! Your daughter has absolutely no problem. A 9 year old child means, she is in a growing stage. So, first of all keep in your mind that posture is dynamic. However some of the structural issues might be there which is very uncommon and that should be there with congenital or severe form of nutritional deficiency.
Just check her thoracic mobility and gluteal strength for further assessment. If her physical tests are normal then directly you can go head with conditioning exercises using posterior pelvic tilt, overhead wall stretch, quadruped knee extension, glutes bridges with posterior pelvic tilt, cat and camel. For basic mobility and stability.
I hope this information is useful for you.
For further assistance feel free to contact me.

Your daughter has excessive lordosis...that means the curvature of the spine at the back area is excessively bent than the normal...
For this first you have to start with some strechings..and go for strengthening exercises...avoid sitting for long hours in one stretch..

From the picture, it appears your daughter has a mild anterior pelvic tilt along with an increased lower back curve (lumbar lordosis), which makes the hips or bum look more prominent. This posture is quite common in young children, especially those who carry heavy school bags or have weak core and abdominal muscles.
Does she ever complain of back or hip pain? If yes, it could be due to postural muscle imbalance.
Next Steps
Physiotherapy management includes: Core and pelvic strengthening (pelvic tilts, bridges, planks) Stretching of hip flexors, lower back, and quadriceps Postural correction and gait retraining Advice on maintaining correct posture and limiting heavy school bag weight.
Health Tips
Encourage her to stay active, maintain upright posture, avoid long sitting hours, and practice her exercises regularly. With proper physiotherapy and posture care, alignment and muscle balance usually improve as children grow.
