Its going to be different for everyone depending on your proportions. This is a good starting point to start understanding some very important fundamentals

If you’re tall I think it’s common for form to change a bit. I don’t know the intricacies.

I recommend asking this question in a more relevant sub

It depends if you're low or high bar, if you're low which most of us do for strength training (I assume), you feel your lower back because of the hip drive. You should educate yourself more on the anatomy of squatting for better form - I recommend Rippetoe's starting strength.

Also, if you're form is on point and you still feel your lower back consistently you might need to up your deadlift.

Try front squats.

But

Lower back is allways involved

Silly me for thinking that maybe you get a decent answer.

If you feel alot of pressure in your lower back, widen your base (More than shoulder width apart). You should be activating glutes and abductors.

Some people have different biomechanics, and need to adjust for the way their body is designed. Widen your stance and push from your heels

This is a form issue need to drop the weight and focus on getting that form dialed in

Your height is irrelevant. It's the same body mechanic for everybody. Your mobility might be trash though. Tight ankles and tight hips will limit your performance and form. Post w video of your squat and I can help you
