I wouldnt worry about it, but this might be a possibility. http://aliengearholsters.com/plastic-c-clips.html
I'm sure you can find metal or slimmer ones.

I wear similar clothing to you and wear guns twice that size without issue. As said above, get a real gun belt. Your troubles will largely go away with this. I carried a ruger sr9c with the full 17 round mag ( which that/the grip is what makes concealing hard) iwb with an alien gear holster, no problems. One thing, if you've got some pounds you could give up, doing so made concealment alot easier for me. Another thing is blousing your tuck, and drawing all the material to the hips (especially for me since i carried strong side). With all the extra material brought to your sides, your tuck looks nicer (without need for a fitted shirt) and covers the gun better. I honestly spent a couple hours trying to figure what worked best for me. On the sr9c, I only switched to the 10 rd mag for polos as the grip was too high out of the tucking point and came into where the material line was. Play with cant as well, as it may make a larger difference than you realize. The sr9c was a pain until i realized canting it forward as much as possible made the lines much more concealable.

1. You're gonna need a new belt made to carry a weapon. Standard belts not made for weapon carrying will not cut the mustard and will make carrying a PITA. Theres a ton of different options out there to fit every style so look at a bunch and find what suits your style the best.
2. Get a kydex holster.
3. Carrying a gun is NOT supposed to be comfortable, it is however supposed to be comforting. So give it some time and stick with it and try different options. Once you figure out what types of belts/guns/holsters work for you you'll forget it's there. Rarely, do CC'ers find the perfect setup on the first try. Most of us have a safe full of guns and a drawer full of holster and belts that we don't/rarely use.

Ended up buying a M&P Shield in 9 with a VersaCarry IWB. It feels "normal" and is sturdy. I shouldn't have to buy a new wardrobe either!!

I fought what I thought was a sturdy belt for 2 years and then got a true gun belt and it was night and day!
In your boot may as well be in your purse as both are a huge tactical disadvantage.
Adjust your dress to untucked Polo's or better yet untucked button up shirts and OWB instantly becomes comfortable and very concealable.
