Lower back curve pushes out my tummy

Hello, I'm arouns five foot six and weigh about nine stone four, so I'm a healthy weight and relatively slim. However, ive always had a slightly protruding tummy-I used to do lots of Irish dancing which is a very good workout so I wa really fit but my tummy always looked kind of bloated and sticky out. I don't feel bloated though it just looks like this. My lower back is very curved, it curves onwards and I think this pushes my stomach out making it look bloated/pregnant-not a look I want to go for and it's especially frustrating because im not overweight! Has anyone had a similar issue/knows of a way I could resolve this? Would a trip to the doctor or a physio be a good idea? Thanks xx

It certainly never hurts to check in with a doctor if there's something you're concerned about, and if you're having any back pain then it would definitely be a good idea. But it sounds to me like this is probably just the way your body is, not something that needs to be fixed but just something to be accepted, like any other part of you.
