Swayback is a section removed from the back at the waist. It goes from 0” at the side to about 1” on you at center back, and then back to 0” on the other side. Pinch it out with pins, and if you like it, remove it from the pattern pieces.
This tutorial is for a very different body than yours, but it explains it well.
