It's 50% of how men's sizes work
I know this is anecdotal, but I've never had pants size be the same as my waist size, even when I was in good shape.
Then you must have the weirdest waist ever, for a man.
I am able to go out into any store with my current waist size, and get a good-fitting pair virtually every time without even trying it on. Now, I may not like certain styles - I prefer my belt to be at my bellybutton, not halfway down my hips such that any erection can only ever point down - but men’s sizes are remarkably consistent.
I bought several pairs of shorts recently from the same brand, all the same waist size, and some definitely fit better than others. There are always manufacturing variances.
