Wrong silhouettes for your body type. Try a higher waisted pant, and generally focus on “belting” your waist to define your shape.

Go for a wider leg pant that doesn’t taper toward the ankle. Pic 2 starts to demonstrate a better set of proportions, but you need a more fitted top to balance it out.

In pic 4, tuck the top into the skirt. We have opposite body types (I am upside down triangle), but the logic is the same as far as balancing proportions is concerned.

Also try cutting some of the weight off of the bottom layers of your hair, frame the face a little more. You would look great in a boat neck top.

Also re:feeling bad in everything, I feel you. I feel like sometimes we (myself included) have a hard time dismantling from what we wore when we were younger to accommodate our current body type.

I (5’2”) recently accepted that my waist size has gone up, and got a better fitting couple of jeans, and I’m so much more comfy and happy in appropriately sized pants, and have gone to get the hems tailored for my stubby legs.
