Can you tailor the waist of hiking/hunting pants with flat seam?

[Deli]

I bought a pair of kuiu katana pants in their outlet which I can’t return. I got the same size as my attacks and pros, but the waist of these are significantly more loose (maybe because of the stretch?). I brought them to the dry cleaner who does tailoring and they said the only way to do it is sew a fold since there is no rear seam but then you have a pinch point while wearing a pack. Does anyone know if there’s another way that they can be taken in or has anyone done something similar? I tried just a belt but then they bunch up and still feel like they are falling off. I love the material but if I can’t tailor them, I may be putting them for sale on the classifieds.
