Squats, deads, lunges, back hypers, good mornings, and GHRs will do a lot more for your lower back strength than any amount of fiddling with your chair.
Not all at once, of course, but start light and work up.
Muscle is gained when it's subjected to progressive overload. It's lost when no demands are made on it. For most people, sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) starts becoming pronounced in the 30s. Strength training turns this around.
You'll also find that proper lift posture does a lot for back health -- musculature and spine.
Getting up and walking around through the day helps, of course. But it's not the total solution either.
