Could be lots of things - fingers could be saddle tipped down causing weight to slide forward (try that test where you ride on a turbo at threshold and let go of the drops - if you immediately tip forward you have too much weight forward), could be tight gloves or something like a locked out arm position. Feet could be too tight shoes or socks, could be pinching a nerve so you need to do some stretching - I find lots of stretching around the hips helps with a lot of things - lower back, quads, glutes, hip flexors - they're all worked hard on a bike.
If you're really fat and unfit could be worth a medical checkup too.
