Swimsuit recommendations for support, exercise and holidays on a £50 budget

I am looking for a new swimming costume to last around £50 thats practical and can be used both for exercise and holidays but doesnt look too like serious or boxy and can be adjusted for weight loss. I am 44-31-38, slightly muscular with a flat bottom skinnyish hips broad shoulders and im a 34g cup size so its hard to find something that holds my chest in and doesnt hurt or just stays on. Im not sure what brands to look for. I refuse to use cheap brands like Shein or Temu and the shops round here dont have that much swimwear so Im a bit clueless. Any suggestions? Before weight loss I wore a swim dress thingy and have worn skirted swim suits in the past or a tankini top/body with a swim skirt.

Someone recently recommended Decathlon swimming costumes on S&B.

Look at Curvy Kate or Bravissimo. Figleaves brand still available through various retailers.

I get tankini tops from Bravissimo and then pair them with bottoms (I have a choice of swim shorts and skirted pants) from somewhere cheap like Sports Direct or Matalan.
