Maybe exercise to build up the muscles in your legs might help with that problem? I was always playing racquetball & bike riding really built up my leg muscles. When I was in college I would ride my 10 speed bike to work....about 10 miles each way......ended up my weight was great but I had a hard time getting pants that weren't tight on my legs....& playing racquetball, the arm I played with the muscle was much larger.....years later, that arm is still some bigger & a lot stronger.....so we can build up the muscles & that makes a huge difference & had nothing to do with what we eat.
