Sometimes it also just takes conscious effort to avoid excessive lordosis.

Standing doing dishes, focus on keeping a neutral pelvic position, might feel a bit posterior to you ...
Standing folding laundry, same thing.
Any of your standing lifts ... not necessarily olympic ones, but shoulder presses, bicep curls etc ... focus on maintaining neutral.

Stretch your hip flexors, TFL, rectus femoris ...
Stretch your lower back ... single knee to chest, double knee to chest ...
Lots of gluteal activation stuff ... things like bird dogs are excellent. You want to focus on maintaining neutral and avoid arching your back when you extend your leg out (we call this disassociation).

Foam rolling of hip flexors, TFL, Quads etc can also be helpful.

And add a dose of patience. It may take time ...
