Weird distortion in hip/legs when posing (low poly) character

I am currently learning low poly modeling and want to use it for animation. I followed various tutorials but all of them seem to have the same problem with the hip and legs. I tried weight painting but it doesn’t really help either.
Here are some images:

How do I fix this?

Hi, can you post a screenshot of the weights round that area?
It looks like it needs blending the weights.

Try using the blur/smooth brush with low setting in that area from both bones leg and spine. or post the file.
i think you will get better results with more loops round the crouch area.
