How to reinforce stitching on body suit

I’m hoping someone might have some suggestions as how to reinforce the stitching on my black suit. This is my second suit that the seams near the crotch are starting to pull apart. I can post a picture if needed. It’s just starting to pull at the stitching.

My suit is the same type of fabric, and I had this start to happen below the zipper. I had some extra fabric (since I purchased some of the same fabric to make my gloves), so I cut a small rectangle patch to reinforce the area and used E6000 to glue it to the inside. It helps take some of the load off the stitch holes, which are weak points.
