Do you have an REI or similar outdoor store nearby? Some basic MTB shorts with a liner sounds like what you want.
If you do get back into riding more frequently, I will say that quality cycling clothing that fits well and is comfortable will go a very long way to your ultimate enjoyment. And, quality cycling gear isn't always the cheapest Amazon option. I'd look at Pearl Izumi and Voler (a great local manufacturer in my home town) for basic gear.
