Why does my lower back hurt?

I am a heavier person who has minor scoliosis in my upper spine. Recently I have been dieting and exercising daily in an attempt to lose weight (I'm hypothyroid). In the past three months I have lost about 20lbs and I've noticed my lower spine hurting more. I tend to carry most of my weight around my stumoch and butt region which is getting smaller so I am wondering why this is happening now as opposed to when I was heavier.
TL:DR -- I lost weight and my back is starting to hurt.
