I am working on solving the following Diophantine equation:
$$k^2(k+1)=m(3m-1)$$
And so far I solved, using WolframAlpha, the following solutions:
$$(k,m)=(-1,0);(0,0);(1,1);(4,-5);(6,-9)$$
Is there a way to prove that those are the only ones?

Hint: This is an elliptic curve given by $3y^2-y=x^3+x^2$. Its integer points can be computed, see for example the following post (we might transform to short Weierstrass form $y^2=x^3+ax+b$ if necessary).
