Howdy and welcome aboard!
The proper IWB and clothing combination will go a long way toward giving you the maximum possible concealment. The key word here is "possible". You have a thin frame, and the USP is a very large pistol - even in the compact version. I believe that there will be a bit of a "bulge" with whatever holster you select.
A 1911 is MUCH flatter, as would be a small to mid size Glock. If you are really sold on HK products, a P-7 is truly the ultimate carry 9mm. With any of those pistols, a good IWB would most probably work well for you.
However, I am 6'2" and weigh in around 245 lbs, and I cannot wear a USP and achieve what I consider to be an acceptable level of concealment. In short, a good holster can conceal a firearm without making it any bulkier, but as of yet, none of us have figured out a way to shrink your gun for you :smile:
A really oversize "Don Ho" shirt might work with an IWB, but I really think that your USP should be your glovebox/nightstand gun. A smaller firearm would solve the problem more effectively than wearing really oversize clothing.
Please feel free to give me a call if I can help you sort this out (and I won't twist your arm to buy a holster, either). My shop phone is 423.733.1779. Good luck!
