If it's imbalance in muscles, your back can probably be fixed by exercise. But if it's your bone structure, a doctor is the best solution.

To get 'hard', I suggest using something like equipoise. It'll harden you up and you'll get fantastic pumps when you train.

if your back is bent like the bell ringer (Hunchback of NotreDame) then you upper back is rounded forward. Hyperextensions are not the answer as they strengthen the extensors of the LOWER back - the erector spinae.

The muscles of the upper back need to be strengthened to prevent rounding forward of the shoulder blades and upper thoracic vertebrae. This will include the serratus posterior inferior, the rhomboids, and the lower third of the trapezius (as the traps are devided into thirds). These will adduct the shoulder blades and pull them back and down. Also believe it or not we are also looking at the posterior (rear) muscles of the neck. When the neck gets weak it allows the head to extend/droop/hang forward which pulls the upper back forward. It would be like taping a 10 LB weight to your forehead. In fact this is an exercise some Chiropractors do to correct this anterior (forward) head lean. The have a head harness that attaches a weight to the forehead, the body tries to pull the head back, and it ends up strengthening the correct muscles so that after a few weeks the head is carried in a more upright position. Avoid neck bridges like wrestlers do as it can really dmamge the neck if you are not really prepared. You can also put a ball against the wall and press your head backwards into it - the ball should be soft like a kickball and not hard.

Rows could be good. Seated long pulls trying to keep your elbows close to the body with a slight hyperextension movement of the spine will help.

Also it may not be a matter of muscle weakness but OVERLY TIGHT muscles. If your pectoral (chest) muscles are too tight it will pull your scapulae (shoulder blades) forward and round the upper back like the hunch back. This is real common with male gymnasts - really strong and fit but they are really rounded as they have overly developed pecs quite often. Stretching the pecs out helps allow the back and shoulder blades return to a more healthy curve.

With rounded shoulders some of the foundational problems that are frequently seen are : dropped arches - the feet roll in. In normal stance the weight is distributed primarily along the outside of the foot - in this case frequently the weight is along the inside of the foot. Also the pelvis will tend to push forward. Also the legs tend to bow backwards, or the the people stand with their knees locked if not hyperextended.
