What about a lock like the one on my chinese chastity belt? The blocking pin lock is an excellent choice, and I know firsthand that even if you pick the cylinder, you still cannot extract the tensioned pin withou the key acting as an extraction wrench.
You get a belt made like that and I'll product test it for ya.

I am REALLY beginning to like you, Lizza!!!
See everyone??? Us women DO know a thing or three about tools and figuring out stuffs!
Okay, very true, Lizza. My lil golden medallion fell off too at day 3 of wear and I had to epoxy it back. I was surprised to find what you did: the top of the locking post.
And I was already aware of the security issues of the (think it was 4 mm) allen screw that held the locking post to bracket.
I was also aware of the security and comfort/fit issues of the whole main locking system at CFW (center front waistband)
Here is what I did:
#1. Reglued the lil medallion with epoxy Only way to remove it now is by destroying the lil king faced piece of foil thin material. Don't want to do that, so I most likely would try and avoid doing that. My "lil kingie face" I kinda like and it would be impossible to get a replacement part for that.
#2. Filled the allen screw head with epoxy after using red Loctite threadlocker on it. (be sure to get the cut out for brass pin exactly right first)
#3. Added a rubber spacer between the locking block and on top of the front shield tab when all 3 pieces are put onto the mainpost. This tightens up the locking block and prevents wiggling or slop. I got my bellyfat pinched once as the waistband pieces came away from the bracket due to slopping vertical fit of the whole thing. The rubber spacer pad prevents that from happening. Kinda hard to cut a nice round hole in the rubber, but I did it good enough. (the rubber was like 2 mm thick stuff off a bicycle seat bracket spacer filler-upper thingie. Dunno what its technical name is)
So my locking block is TIGHT, in order for me to extract the pin, even with key, I have to use a free hand to compress the rubber, when trying to pick I need an extra hand.
The brass blocking pin is really easy to pick. (if you know how to pick a lock, they are super easy peasy)
