Slight Pain in lower back squatting

Hello to all. I started doing weighted squats about a month ago in the gym and I have been upping the weight ever since every 1 or 2 weeks. 5 days ago I went up to 60kg (132 lbs). Squatting this weight was ok for the first couple of reps, but then I decided to push myself a little more when I started getting tired and in one of the reps I felt a small strain in my lower back as I came back up with the weight. I carried on and finished my 2 remaining sets as usual then after about 20 mins my lower back started to hurt. It was no big deal and some days later I squatted the same weight and I was fine after. Then yesterday I done squats again but this time only 50kg and my back started to hurt a little bit after that. And today every time I bend down I feel a slight pain on my lower back. I always make sure I am using the correct form so why might this be happening now? I saw somewhere online that if your core and posture is not good then squatting can cause some back pain, so is this why? Because Im not gonna lie I do have lumbar lordosis or abit of an anterior pelvic tilt so maybe this could be reason. But if not then comment down below as to why this could be happening because I want to prevent this from happening in the future while still being able to go up in weight.
