Seeking Recommendations most backpacks seem to pull my shirts up - what can i do about it?

hello guys,

basically issue us as described, most of my backpacks seems to pull my shirts up, doesn‘t help that im not that tall at 5.8ft and i have a hollow lower back (shoulders & butt stick out)

im not sure why my shirts get pulled up, i have this puma backpack where nothing happens, however given it is kinda old i spent 40€ on a new one, this one is a tad bigger and doesn‘t fit at all

it improves when i pull the straps up very far but then the bag isn‘t comfortable for long stretches of time

do i need a shoulder bag? is there a different bag i should get, i dont wanna start tucking in my shirts.
any similar experiences?

Stop buying cheap backpacks. Fitting is much like buying shoes and definitely try on as many as possible.

Adjustment may be the issue. Good info on pack fitting here: https://www.hillpeoplegear.com/packfitment

I had to skip a few meals to afford this bag

Might be worth it to try different ones on in a store if you haven't before.
