how to add custom ssl certificate to curlpp

I have this c++ code:

curlpp::Cleanup cleaner;
curlpp::Easy request;

std::string requestUrl = "https://some.domain/"

request.setOpt(new curlpp::options::Url(requestUrl));

request.perform();

I want to hardcode an SSLcertificate inside my c++ so that curlpp only trusts this certificate and no other

I donlt want to load the ssl key from a file because an attacker could manipulate the file and add his own cert.

My goal is to prevent man in the middle attacks from a user who has full access to the environment. I know that an attacker could simply reverse engineer my application that's why I want to use encrypted strings and code obfuscation.

i am aware that i cant prevent attackers from reading my applications network traffic but i want it to make as hard as possible. i am also open for other approaches.
