Am having problems finding clothes that are non binary
Am Obese and most of the time i wear tracksuit bottoms and nothing else
my back is more curved than normal meaning i have a very big bottom and am only 4"11
i have one pair of trousers that fit me and was cut in half for my hight

Perhaps you might try the types of pants sold with the intention of being short. On you they would be about full length. I see them sometimes that come to somewhere below the knee. I'm sure you're familiar enough with the children's department, but if you want men's styles, that may be your best bet. I think if I were you I would take sewing lessons and invest in a machine, then start altering my own. That's one of the things I miss about my dearly departed mum-- she could sew and I could always get anything altered at home.

Most towns have a place where you can get clothes adjusted, buy stuff that fits your waist/shape and get em fixed to match your height.

learn to sew, it's great to be able to make your own clothes and costumes or adapt things that don't fit perfectly. sewing is a quite manly skill, it's not just something that mothers do. with some sense of shape and a tiny bit of perfectionism, it would be almost impossible to do it wrong.
any clothes that fit your waist are good. the waist is a terrible hassle to adapt, legs are easy. so easy you only need to know how to thread a needle or use a sewing machine. long sewing courses aren't needed.
