[Android Central Question]

My phones Bluetooth connection is being blocked by simple objects like my jeans or my hand. I've talked to Samsung support 3 times now and they've been no help.

Hopefully at least one of those can give you your connection back.
If not then probs a hardware issue antenna maybe.

None of them worked. I guess it would be good to mention the fact that when I factory reset my phone I didn't have the issue for about a week so I don't believe it's hardware based

Damm so none of the connectivity issues including Software glitch with default bluetooth drives. Possibly Software combatilbility between your buds and device. It up to date all that OS need ?
It could be hardware still restarting or Factory reset sometimes gives a little life back till it goes again.

I remember reading somewhere that Bluetooth signals are heavily attenuated by water. Guess what makes up the majority of your body...

I have similar issues on occasion, even with a high end Blue Parrot headset if I have my phone in my left pocket and headset on my right ear. If a swap ears, or have the phone on my desk, I have no problems and can get quite a long range from it.

So this actually doesn't surprise me with tiny ear buds that can't fit a higher power radio in them.

10 metres max no Interference,Lucky to get 3.5 metres clear path. Depending on quality of chips as well postioning & as Mooncat says with the tiny Buds. Though you would think would be addressed.
Added a link if none of this works its one of them.

I keep my phone in a holster on my left hip and my Bluetooth adapter(s) clipped to my right hip and have no problems with the connection. Although at the point I am establishing connection the phone is in my hand in direct line of sight to the adapter. I suspect in the OP's case it is some kind of incompatibility.
