You shouldnt lower your back when you squat you should bend at the hips and keep your back straight. I couldnt really tell ya if you were doin it right or wrong unless i watched you do it. If you are just starting it may be tired even if you are doing it the right way.

Lower back strength is extrememly important when squatting. To properly sit back in your squat, you need to lean your upper body forward a little. The posterior chain (back, glutes, hams) are the most important muscles. Do Good Mornings, Reverse Hypers, and Stiff Legged Deadlifts to strengthen the lower back.
