The answer to this isn’t quite as simple as fixing it in the first place.
Does it impact your quality of life?
Is it correlated with pain?

Does it negatively affect how well we function?
If the answer to these is “yes,” then completing exercises can assist in improving it.
Keep your knees relaxed and shoulders back, while bending towards the ground.

Your butt should move backwards with the movement coming from a “hinge” at your hips.
Return to standing tall while emphasizing squeezing your hamstrings/buttocks at the top.
Walk until muscles feel fatigued and set the weight back down.

I recommend shooting for 2-4 sets of 100-200ft, 2-3 times per week.
Muscles are challenged in the upright position that is required for proper posture.
Adjust the weight you hold onto, or the distance that you walk.

The phrase I often use is “the next posture is the best posture.”
Lastly, all good things take time!
Work on being consistent, while also being patient.
