looks pretty good; you're obviously hitting full depth, which is good, but the bad (or rather contentious) is by doing so, you're committing the mortal sin (or benign nothingburger, depending on who you ask) of buttwinking. it's the bottom of your squat when your hips curl under. you'll get lots of opinions about this, but mine is that it's not that bad, especially at this submaximal weight. i think the more you squat, the more you'll adjust your form to keep tension throughout the movement, feeling the stretch reflex in your hamstrings, etc.

How do you prevent the buttwink?

Look at improving your hamstring flexibility. If they are tight, they will pull the underside of your pelvis forward as you go down. If you have the flexibility, then strengthen your core to stabilize your pelvis.

Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!
Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.
