I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and gone down 3 sizes. I mostly wear stretchy black jersey 'runway' trousers from Saint and Sofia, which are OK but can look a bit saggy overall when I mostly also have jersey type tops
I was feeling more confident after the weight loss, until I tried on some jeans and now feel as fat as ever. I still have a muffin top especially when I sit - well more than one, two rolls really. I just seem to carry the fat round my middle, and all my dieting/exercising isn't helping with that yet.
I suspect I am never really going to be able to wear trousers with more structure and waistbands, buttons, flies etc. as I am always going to have overspill (my waist is quite high, too, so it all gets very squished up when I sit down!).
The black soft trousers are OK I guess for most days and can look fairly smart, but I was wondering whether some denim joggers might look enough like jeans to be a casual alternative to the black, but not cause the rolls when I sit down. But where from? I'd prefer to try them on but there aren't many shops that carry them - M&S is out of stock. Something with a jersey style waistband I think might be what I need? I tried jeggings from fatface and whitestuff and they were both far too structured in the waistband and exacerbated the problems. Even Seasalt high-waisted jeans didn't work, and they tend to run fairly big.
I've read about Halara and they look OK but returns seem impossible and I'm kind of between their sizes. I'm sort of a 10 now, but a 12 in some of the smaller brands, and with the rolls. Their sizes are S (8-10) or M (12-14) and I don't know which would fit (I was looking at the high-rise flex straight leg ones). I can't find any of those on Vinted or Ebay in my size/style/colour. I'm looking for straight legs as I'm quite short and wide legs look a bit clown-like on me. And a fairly dark denim.

any ideas for Halara sizing for those ones? Or anything else that is kind of similar that is UK based?
Or other ideas for trousers that don't really cut in at the waist, and would let me sit down without the horrible rolls? It's not so bad when I'm standing but sitting is awful. Is it boyfriend style I need perhaps, with big waist compared to hips? I don't want it too lose when I am standing and walking around or I"ll be tempted to put a belt on, which is back to the same issue, so I think it will need to be elastic of some sort.
