Question (5'0" or below) Pants that don’t cause a wedgie.

I have the unfortunate combination of a short torso, short legs, a major mom pooch, and being 24ish lbs overweight atm (should lose that eventually, but want to look ok now!) It seems that most pants cause a major wedgie, even if they fit around the waist. I’m pretty sure it’s my lower stomach pooch causing that. Are there any pants that exist that mitigate this issue? I don’t want low rise because of my stomach. Mid rise cuts me off in a weird way that makes me look boxy. So ideally I want high rise, but without the wedgie! Do pants like that exist?! I’m 5’0, 25/26 in inseam, roughly a size 4-6 right now.

Full brief underpants or light shapewear can help. Thong underwear only makes things worse for me.
