Just recently I got up to 125 squat for 5 reps and was ready to increase my weight to 135. The other day though i noticed my groin on my right side was hurting a lot. I decided to power through it and finish my set. Then again yesterday my groin was hurting again. So i decided to just skip the squats for yesterday. Why is my groin hurting while squatting and what should I be doing differently?

"Powering through" pain is just a recipe for making it worse. You probably pulled something, best to go see a doc but he may tell you to take it easy for 4-6 weeks.
All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.
Don't be upset with the results you didn't get from the work you did not do.

Stop the workouts, see a dr ASAP.

there can be a small tear, which needs time (months) to heal. Meanwhile, switch to leg press, and do it one-legged. Leg on the injured side needs to be rotated slightly inward, kind of like knee pointing towards the knee on the other side. This switches the groin from taking part in the squat, while allowing the injured muscle to flex. This in turn speeds up the recovery and allows the scar tissue to become functional. You may need to experiment a little bit, get a feel on how to switch that muscle off during the squatting. Add bone broth to your diet. The key point here is continued working all muscles around the injured one, without pain.
Seing the doctor may help, but I haven't seen too many who would know much about lifting injuries, most of them will say the same sheat, or send you to ultrasonic/xray, or, god forbid, surgery. Physiotherapists are your better bet.

The first thing that is necessary is to reduce the load in the training.
Second, try a little closer to put your legs in the squats.
Sumo squats aren't for everyone.bench press 167.5 kgx1, 125 kgx13, 100 kgх24
standing press 100 kgx1, 82,5 kg 4 sets х 5 reps
deadlift 230 kgx1, 200 kgx4, 190 kg 3 sets x 5 reps
raw squat 180 kgx1, 150 kg 5x5
chin-ups +25 kg x10 reps
