Need help with trousers

Firstly please don’t say go to a styling session at John Lewis as I really don’t want to do that. I’ve lost two stone this year and feel completely clueless, I have plenty of tops and jumpers but no idea what trousers or jeans I should wear? I’m 48, 5ft 1 and 9 stone. I go to the gym a lot, have attached a pic of me in my gym stuff. Do have a belly but breathing in in pic!!
thank you

Do you tend to wear tighter or looser tops? I tend to go with the principle of tight top + looser jeans or looser top + tighter trousers. I like mom jeans (I'm a similar shape to you). High-waist mom fit jeans | Pull&Bear United Kingdom

Looser tops I would say

As per PP, with looser tops, then straight or bootleg. Possibly carrot leg.

More fitted tops, barrel or wide leg.
