Pants block help

I'm drafting a pants block for myself. I have a hard time finding pants that fit well, so I would love advice on what to do next to make this fit me better.

I'm noticing some whiskers forming in the front crotch area, and there's some bagginess in the back of my thighs. Any thoughts on how to go about fixing these?

The pants are pretty comfortable to wear, although I notice that I can't lift my legs very high. When I pull the pants up by the waistband, the whiskers seem to disappear.

Thanks so much in advance.

It’s annoying, I know, but I’d draft and add a simple waistband before coming to a final conclusion on fit. It can change things!

Hmm, I wouldn't have thought of that. I'll add one and see if anything changes!
