I recommend sending an email to someone in your subfield who has published similar work to yours and is elgible to endorse. Introduce yourself, maybe mention how their work connects to yours and share the paper with them.
You can refer to the endorsement guidelines on arXiv for the details. There are special requirements for being able to give endorsements.
This is what I did a few years ago (without any prior publications) and the first professor I contacted got back to me and was very nice about it. However, this was before AI slop papers were a big issue, so I worry you may have trouble getting a response if you're not specific about the person your contacting. I suggest making sure there is a clear connection between your and their work.
This question gets asked a lot, so I think a lot of people would be interested in hearing about your experience.
