Train 2 Win
I actually "rediscovered" it recently due to Euro mentioning it in a post in the handgun forum. I've had one since maybe the late 90's and it sat in a drawer (I had to dig to find it!). Wore it and I kinda like it. I don't wear tucked in shirts EVER if I can help it, and in the summer here soft cotton workout-type shorts with an elastic waistband and a T-shirt are one of my favorite combos. Thunderwear allows me to comfortably conceal a 4" barreled handgun and I forget it's there. Since I'm now long out of the Army I actually wear drawers (!) so it keeps your junk from protruding in front of the muzzle when you sit down.
I think Thunderwear will be perfect when I eventually get a Glock 43.

This is close to how I roll for most work type stuff with one job - my suggested answer tends to be S&W M&P Shield 9 in AIWB holster, spare magazine hanging out on support side khaki pocket. The 5.11 Covert Casual pants are a must for this arrangement, since those small zipper pockets wind up being my available space for keys, chap stick, and earplugs (other intended use for those). I happen to still run 4:00 IWB, but I'm 232lb so printing isn't that big a deal in that position for me (I can get away with carrying my LB 1911, but that's just dumb), but once I find a good AIWB holster with the right cant and attachment I'll probably settle on that.
Beyond that, spend the money on good shirt and socks that can help manage the heat/humidity best, even if it's a $50 RR, OR, or something high end type of shirt.

A tuckable appendix carry rig for whatever my usual gun is and pants that aren't fit like skinny jeans.
Considering clothing like that it would be a G43 in an AWIB holster or an IWB holster. As is now I usually carry a G19 in a IWB holster. However my clothing is a little bit baggier.

When forced to do that before it was a NAA Guardian 32ACP in a back pocket "wallet" shaped holster.
Now that my wife has a G42, I plan on seeing if it will work in a front pocket.
I tried it with a 642 but the grips that I have on it to make it shootable for me makes it bulge as bad as a G26 in a pock holster.
That is why I bought my M&P Bodyguard. Had you said carry friendly area but still didn't want to print, G43 could fit the bill but with that attire you need something even smaller.
Welcome to Florida.
You have basically a few options.
1. Tucked holster system that will conceal your firearm completely but will require 90 seconds to acquire in a defensive situation.
2. Pocket carry that may or may not print and will put you at risk of constantly flagging your own leg and depending upon the firearm / pocket holster system may or may not put a round down your pants, especially on the draw.
3. Reporters vest with OWB holster which provides fast access but may "glimpse" your firearm from time to time, especially when windy. Can also use the same vest to conceal IWB holster which doesn't dramatically change anything. Can also use a jacket if you don't mind being sweat saturated all day long.
4. Fanny pack carry, might as well have the word "GUN" printed on it.
5. Ankle holster option. Complex draw under stress and the opportunity to bang your small carry gun into everything you walk past all day long.
Basic rule of thumb, the better you hide it, that harder it will be to get to if you need it. Thankfully a lot of people in FL are completely oblivious. I carry a full size SIG 226 OTW and conceal with a vest. It traps the least amount of heat and when I go indoors most places, like restaurants, I can remove the vest and put it next to me which conceals the firearm on my hip.
