Remove the belt loops and waistband in back.
Take a dart down center back the length of your center back dart on your real pant, BASTE don't stitch - try them on. The pocket and grain may go off with that large a dart. IF it looks ok, flat fell stitch , trim seam allowance put waistband back on and re place belt loops. IF it does go off grain and angles the pockets and looks horrid...take 1/2 the dart out at center back and 1/4 out of each back pocket ( presuming there are 2 patch pockets) IF you are careful you may be able to dart the pant back with pocket still attached...so 2 inches per center back and 1 per each mid buttock. replace waistband and belt loops.
