Andy, until your weight settles at a long term number, I suggest getting a relatively inexpensive 511 Casual belt. Kydex stiffener and decent looking . I have used them for several years and really like them. I have more expensive gun belts but always seem to pick a 511 for shorts or jeans. Around forty bucks I think and hold up well.
