Default shoulder holsters for a fat man

While I post a lot on this site, I dont think I have posted on this section before. I open carried on my job for 35 years. Of course I was fat then too, wore suspenders the last ten years and guess I got used to it. I have been retired for 9 1/2 years and mostly been just packing a model 40 in my pocket. I do go on a lot of wilderness outings where I hang a revolver on my belt. I must have put on even more weight as things have gotten more uncomfortable and pulling my pants down etc. Years ago I mostly wore a heavy duty gun belt and got by. Lately I been trying to get by wearing my holster just on my pants belt and it doesnt work out well. I might try a shoulder outfit. Any of you fat guys have a good set up you like? Otherwise I guess I have to go back to my old working rigs. Yesterday I tried carrying a model 36 3" in just a holster hanging on my pants belt on a quad trip and even that was as bad as carrying my heavier handguns!
