Please have a direct conversation with him. Start with "Dad - we need to talk about something important" to get his attention.
Then tell him that you are growing up and consider your body as your private property. That you do not think his touching your butt (outside of an emergency situation) is appropriate, and whatever other contact area you consider off limits.
Tell him that you understand that he may not have recognized that. Then tell him that you expect him to treat you property as a young lady; and that you want a fantastic father daughter relationship.
Sometimes people need someone to clarify things - as they are carrying on behavior from when you were younger and it was harmless.
My guess is that he will apologize and things will resolve themselves.
If they don't after that - then you need to seek other family intervention help before things get worse.
