Anyone here has Hyper-lordosis? (Belly pooching topic)

Hey guys! Just wanna know anyone here has hyperlordosis or lordosis? (abnormal curve of the spine)?
I seemed to have "belly fat" all my life; used to have actual fats until I worked out so much and ate right, and I noticed my abs hardened, but the "pooching" does not go away. It shrank, but it's still there. I was so stressed, I thought I was doing the wrong diets, doing wrong workouts, or bloating and water retention- I was so depressed at how my progress seemed to not give me the results of "flat abs". One day I went to the hospital and did health check ups- x-raying and ultra sounds, and since I'm with the doctor, I asked to see my lower abs to know what is it that makes it pooches out. It turns out I barely have fat underneath, and the pooching is actually the muscles... I freaked out at how the heck can that be, and then my x-ray results showed I have hyperlordosis lumbar, so it protrudes my lower abs out...
Here's some pictures and info:

Just want to find people who have the same problems here...
