I'd strongly advocate for white rice as an inclusion for carbs. I consider it to be almost magic. When I hit my early 30s, I wanted to find a consistent diet for the rest of my life that would give me the weight I prefer along with the broader mental/health/enjoyment outcome I was looking for, that balance. I didn't want to have ongoing weight-diet conflicts, I was looking for easy consistency to maintain as I got older (I don't want to have to think much about it, I don't want to have to manage it or fight with it; I want it to just work, day in day out, for my lifestyle). When I first began testing out various diets and measuring, I assumed brown rice would be necessary/ideal to get the results I wanted. That turned out to be false, white rice worked remarkably well. Which was great, because I dislike brown rice unless I bury it in seasoning, whereas I enjoy white rice plain.

Another thing you might consider along with white rice is (ab)using one day per week as a carb stuffing day to artificially float your weight a bit, if that's a concern. I've found that injection of carbs didn't cause carb-induced brain fogging through the rest of the week, and I use it to occasionally eat unhealthy things that shouldn't be consumed frequently. I eat a low calorie, low sugar diet that I'm quite happy with, so that optional carb-heavy day is a nice flex point in an otherwise rigid dietary approach.
