Back pain during squats

Any common form issues that would cause me to have back pain during squats?
Been at this about 3 weeks started squatting 15kg, pain started today on 40kg. As far as I know my form hasn't changed. Pain starts as soon as the weight is on my shoulders and the whole way down and up, when the weight comes off the pain reduces but it's still there after
feels like my spine is being crushed!
Pain is in my thoracic and lumbar regions (middle and lower) during, but after it is just persisting in my thoracic spine
Can't post a form video as no video recording method when at the gym.
Any ideas?

Can you post a video from home using a broomstick?
Possible things: bar placement, mobility issues, over arching or rounding your back. Those are just the first to come to mind.0
