I can't say I could diagnose it in any case, let alone from what you have described. But your body works all its muscles like a pulley system.
I used to have frequent lower back pain. I tend to sleep on my stomach and get a lock of compression pains there.
I used to focus more on the back thinking it would fix the problem.
I found out it wasn't the back that needed work.
Firstly, through tension, your lower back is linked to your gluts and hamstrings. My body has a natural tendency for tighter than normal hamstrings. It has meant I can kick a ball a mile, but even when in shape I find it hard to touch my toes for example. I did yoga focusing on stretching my hamstrings and it reduced a lot of my pain.
Secondly, your core is involved in virtually everything. In another thread, an opinion was given in response to doing 1,000 ab crunches that he would never do ab work until the fat disappeared. I can't say I would view that as sound advice. Core conditioning is important, and your back muscles are small, weak and not that efficient. You core should be supported by your abs first and foremost. Muscles strain in your lower back can occur when they are having to support too much.
To summarise, sounds advice made me work on my hamstrings and abs to solve my lower back pain.
