Looking for a perfectly flat saddle
Anyone know a saddle where their is no hump from rear to middle,as I tend to like sitting on the rear of the seat.Tried the selle itali slr and fizik arione,andeven these aren't even flat enough.Not worried if there is a slight dip on the front
I want to pay about 50$

This is the one I went with. It may or may not work for you.

I think this is a little flatter than typical SLR...
Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow Black Carbon
Fizik Arione is flat from front to back but not side to side as much, btw.

I also ride towards the back of my saddle, and am riding the Specialized Romin Expert. It's got a small lip at the rear edge which fits me perfectly. Actually seems like it gives slightly better power transfer as my butt's not moving around.

The problem with side-to-side flat saddles is that they put too much pressure on your sit bones. You should check out the bontrager inform study.

Toupe is similar to Arione and if you didn't like that, I'd skip the Toupe too.
I was just saddle shopping yesterday and the super helpful LBS guy described the Romin & Fizik Aliante as "sit in the back and don't move around" saddles. They have something that almost looks like a backstop on the back, so they don't appear flat, but that might be better for how you've described your riding style.
