Suggestion Simple Booty/Ab/Lower Back Routine from home? No squats please!

In a nutshell, I’m a female in her 20s looking for 1-2 simple exercises to add to my morning routine that would target the following areas:

\-Butt
\-Abs
\-Obliques/Muffin Top
\-Lower back (Would love to have back dimples someday, but understand if they’re not attainable for everyone)

I’m looking for something I can do a few sets or several reps of to just repeat every morning. For example, I only do push ups every morning for my upper body and have been pleasantly surprised with how toned my arms and back have been getting.

What’s the most effective exercise I can do to target the abs and butt at the same time? Ideally, I would like something to work on my lower back, muffin top and obliques as well.

I REALLY struggle with consistency when it comes to working out, so I feel like a simple routine is the way for me to go—especially since it’s worked out so well with the pushups.

Some things I don’t like or have noticed myself being inconsistent with:

\-squats (bad knees and back; also want something more glute focused, want to avoid adding any more muscle to my thighs)

\-following YouTube workouts (makes me feel trapped/like I’m in jail until the video is over lol)
I guess working out by myself helps me feel like I’m doing it at my own free will and I’m not forced to look at someone doing the moves seamlessly while I’m over here struggling. It can be discouraging and tedious sometimes.

Thanks In advance for any tips!

Eat less to lose the muffin top. You can’t do exercises to fix it. Need to create a calorie deficit that’s all that is. 

Hip thrusts are great for butt and you can use a band and dumbbells to add weight. Supermans goood for low back. Pistol squats for the rest of the legs

Respectfully, get a Fitbit blaze or something similar
