Go to thrift shops or cut the waist band off your pants and sew elastic ribbing around the waist.
One way that works is to stretch the elastic over an ironing board, apply heat from an iron, and keep it stretched until it cools. Do a section at a time until you feel the size is ok.

An athletic cut suit has an 8" difference between the measurement of the chest and the trouser size. For example, a size 40 regular suit will have pants with a 32" waist.

Dresses that are belted at the waist or have an empire style cut will help to make your waist look slimmer.

Here's a handyman's solution to your problem. When my jeans and work pants got too tight, I simply made a one inch cut, at the waistline at each hip. Then I made sure to always wear a belt to keep the waist from stretching too much and increasing or deepening the cut, as well as hiding the "homemade tailoring".
