this is most likely scoliosis I have this condition, I was sent for tests to confirm it and was offered an operation to straighten the spine but refused as the operation is very risky . doctors still don't know the main cause of scoliosis it literally is just "one of these things", and contradictary to myths scoliosis is not caused by bad posture. it can also be diagnosed at any age. do not worry about this if you have it, it doesn't restrict movement or quality of life :)
30 degrees at the base near the tailbone, also known as the "arch" in your back.

There are four spinal curve, 2 of which are convex ) and the other 2 are concave (

1. cervical curve = convex, primary

2. thoracic curve = concave, secondary

3. lumbar curve = convex, primary

4. sacral curve = concave, secondary

The primary curves are present at birth, the secondary curves only develop later when the child starts to walk
