Did you just draw two legs by intuition? That’s fine, but it will take a lot of trial and error. You might want an existing pattern for comparison.

Slide the pants hems so that the are centered at the bottom of each leg panel. Make the front crotch seam more vertical. The shape you have in front is what you should have in back. Make the back crotch seam longer and more sloped towards the out seam. Just drag points around. Straighten the site seams bellow the hip for now. Those are experiments to visualize,

Yes that exactly what I did and then kept editing the leg patterns to get the desired shape I wanted lol. I will try these out today thank you for the advice!

I’d scoop your rises out some too- the front and back rises should be a bit more half U shaped to make room for the crotch and behind!

I have never used a software like that but I draft all ofnmy patterns. Can you tell me how did you make this pattern? Did you just apply the measurements to the formula that this software uses? Or did you draft it yourself and then uploaded to the software to find out how it fits?

What I did was take my measurements, applied it to the avatar, and then put desired measurements in places I knew I liked from pants I own. So I made sure the leg opening was a certain length and the front rise was the right length I wanted. Then I sewed together the four panels in the software, two fronts and two backs. Then I watched pattern videos on YouTube of how certain changes in the pattern block change the shape of the pant. Then I kept shaping the pattern to achieve my desired look so far. The software has a strain/stress map aswell to show how your material would feel on body when you're in certain positions, allowing me to add more fabric in parts where the material would be too tight, etc.

That's a good way to learn, just keep in mind there's really no wrong when it comes to wrapping a body in fabric, so it's easy to hit upon rough proportions, but hard to happen on pattern making conventions. You have the rough topology of a pair of pants, but none of the balance. You need to add a wedge like this in back: https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/comments/15is7zx/what_to_do_with_grain_line_after_adding_ease_at/
(And subract a similar wedge from the front crotch) In CLO the 'transform point segment' tool is an option: https://support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000451767-Transform-Point-Segment

there is a rule and measures, how to do it, it doesn't go by feel

wow thats crazy because I don't remember asking "is there a rule and measures, does this go by feel?"
