Has anyone used a waist cincher to help with flab?

Firstly, I understand it won’t help me lose weight and I am not intending it to be over tight. I am also aware that I must be careful not to let my core muscles weaken...
That being said...
I carry all my weight on the front of my stomach (had cxsection and the pouch that follows]. The fat seems to go straight to the old pregnancy area....
I wondered about using one like one might use a sports bra to hold in the flab and support the fat to prevent the awful jiggling feeling that makes higher impact exercises painful (and I do worry about the skin being stretched).
Thank you

I should also add that I’m not interested in neoprene sweating stuff, nor corset-style to look better.
I have been recommended compression clothing before, but can’t find anything exactly right. I need stomach flab support to control it until I’ve lost the weight. Imagine a female with a big beer belly (not quite, but that’s where I carry all the fat). If I could chop it off, I’d be so slim (if only it were that easy).

There are quite a few brands of workout gear in all price ranges that have "tummy control" selections. Try searching Amazon, Target/Kohls/Walmart or even Groupon.
Example:
https://www.amazon.com/Marika-Womens-Sophia-Tummy-Control/dp/B071DPNRPP/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2BUCVVIAWUW2Y&keywords=marika+high+rise+tummy+control+leggings&qid=1553873396&s=gateway&sprefix=marika+,aps,162&sr=8-7
I like this brand in general (tummy control and not).3
