I need help finding jeans.

I am no help, because I am in the exact same place you are (with more pounds). All my weight went to my stomach and I hate being pinched and squeezed, or always pulling up my pants, or fighting with a belt.

The one pair of jeans that fit ripped a huge hole in the crotch this morning, so I can't wait to see what suggestions you get!

I carry my weight in my stomach too. The best thing I've done is buy jeans that fit my waist and have them taken in in the hips and legs. It's about $15 to have them tailored and totally worth it.

Also, most of my jeans are GAP and I have had them all tailored.

Buy ones that fit in your waist, that you like in terms of style, and take them to a tailor to be altered. But don't forget to wash them first so that if they shrink a little in the wash, they'll still fit post-tailoring.
