Are you asking about lycra cycling gear or are you just after some
padded shorts, 'cos you could look at getting some mtb baggy shorts.
They usually run to bigger sizes.

I have a mate who had a bit of a gut (oh no, that would be me) and he
finds that bib shorts sometimes fit better and are less restricting.

Gut's now gone (well almost, Christmas set me back a couple of months),
but I still prefer bib shorts.
