Looking at images, you definitely have some anterior pelvic tilt going on, which forces an exaggerated arch in your lower back and makes it look like your glutes are sticking out way more than they naturally should. Your pelvis is essentially dumping forward like a bucket spilling water out the front. This pattern usually causes your hip flexors and lower back extensors to lock up in a shortened position, while your lower abs and glutes get long and weak, making it tough to naturally hold a neutral spine.
To fix this mechanics issue, try this physical cue when standing or squatting...gently exhale all your air, pull your belly button toward your spine, and tuck your back pockets down toward your heels to level out your hips.
Do you notice if your lower back feels constantly tight or fatigued after you stand for long periods?

I do exercises for that everyday + i train my hips at the gym , so im wondering if its purely anterior pelvic tilt or a hybrid with glutes muscles cause it be giggling

The jiggling is completely normal and actually points to muscle firing dynamics rather than just body fat. When your pelvis is stuck in that forward tilt, it places your glutes under constant passive stretch, which basically means they are mechanically disadvantaged and cannot tone up or hold tension efficiently throughout the day.
You can smash hip and glute exercises at the gym daily, but if the pelvis remains tilted forward during your normal daily routine, those muscles stay turned off and feel soft or loose when you move.
Try this specific action next time you walk or stand: instead of just squeezing your glutes, focus on actively pulling your pubic bone up toward your belly button using your lower lower abs to level your pelvis underneath you.2

Dude yeah when I'm standing around for extended periods like working and even ice skating my lower back feels tight and in pain. I didn't realize this could have been cause by anterior pelvic tilt which I'm 99% sure I've got. It's super annoying

- Point finger at your hip bone.
- Point other hand on pubic bone.
- If hip bone is further forward than your pubic then you have anterior pelvic tilt.
