I agree that woman that lift weights look better in bikini than those that do just cardio. Being just skinny with minimal muscle definition often look fine in clothes but a flat butt doesn’t look great in most bathers.

Op, it sounds like you're describing Demi Moore's body

This just means that you wear ill-fitting clothes, OP.

You could look good year-round! Make more of an effort when you're shopping

Your are wearing clothes too small

Are your shirts too baggy? Like they fall straight down from your chest without curving in to hug your body? I knew a mom that always wore baggy shirts/tunics and one time she wore a form fitting dress and I was amazed at how slim she was! I’d wear a body hugging top if you have a toned flat tummy.

+1. I'm actually much more confident naked than in clothes.

I wouldn't worry about it, even though you can maybe improve your style in some way and show off your figure a bit. I think a lot of people react only when they see something that clearly rings 'sexy'.

You need to dress for your body.

OP it sounds like your body type is athletic. Which of course is easier to see with no clothes on. You said you do not have a defined waist and have large thighs. No matter how solid/cellulite free you are, that’s going to be a body type that looks thick in clothes even though naked it looks fantastic.

I’m sure it’s annoying to always get these comments but I think you have to learn to embrace what you have. You’re not overweight and can look good in a bikini as an adult - you are winning compared to most women in the US!

Are you more confident in your bikini?

I have worked out my entire life but I'm not particular small or thin. I have no defined waist but I have pretty toned abs. I have large thighs but they are solid and no cellulite. When I wear clothes I don't look over weight but I don't look particularly slim to say the least. I went on a short moms away wknd inbetween xmas and new years and got the same reaction in my bathing suit that I always do. "Omg you look so great...how much weight have you lost." Which the answer is always none (or after Xmas probably up a few) but I just always have had these reactions. Perhaps I'm just wearing the wrong clothes for my body type?
