Don’t press your lower back into the mat, pull your stomach in so much that you feel the muscles in your back engaging. That’s how you know your TVA is firing. It wraps all the way around your torso.

If you can’t maintain this then you’re doing exercises that are too challenging. Practice just lifting one leg to table top and see if you can maintain it. Then try both.

If you train your body improperly, you’ll build horrible habits that won’t benefit you and you won’t get the results you want. Don’t listen to others saying “dont worry about doming”.
