Scoliosis: It depends on the degree of your scoliosis and how much weight you have lost. If you have no muscles or skin on your lower back, it is the feeling of pressure of the bone against your skin. There is no sore inside

Sagittal malignment: I suspect you may have some degree of Sagittal Mal alignment that may be contributing to your symptoms such as a hyper lordotic lumbar spine. Don't hesitate to see and discuss with a specialist.
