You are having pain due to improper posture as well as less strength in your back.
1.Use ice pack for not more than 10 mins for immediate relief.
2. After sometime when you start feeling that it's better start doing isometric back exercises.
3. Posture correction is must because their is scoliosis.
4. Please visit a physiotherapist atleast once because it's good if you learn those exercises properly and if you can visit regularly please visit.

Since you are experiencing the pain after doing squats in lower back, could be the reason of scoliosis which is lateral curvature of the spine. For temporary relief you can take ice pack for 10 to 15 mins four times a day and rest the back which is painful.
Next Steps
once the pain reduces you can start doing bridging exercise with a hold of five counts for 10 repetition. twice daily.
Health Tips
I feel you have to get checked personally by a physiotherapist, for scoliosis to rule out which type of scoliosis you have. Further you will be a guided on which exercises to continue. how to maintain your posture while you do activities of daily living.

So, it’s the back instability that is there that is exacerbating during the squats owing to the changing alignment of the pelvic girdle. You should start with an ice pack twice a day for 7 minutes. It should be followed by general leg stretching. This will help break the pain spasm pain cycle. Then start with back stabilization exercises for ultimate relief and preventing recurrence.
Next Steps
You can consult us on the Practo app to get a customized tailor made exercise routine for your condition.
