It is known that all finite abelian groups are regularly realisable over $\mathbb{Q}(x)$. See e.g. B.H. Matzat, Konstruktive Galoistheorie, p. 224, M. Fried and M. Jarden, Field Arithmetic, Lemma 24.46, or J.P Serre, Topics in Galois Theory, p. 36. It is also known that, e.g., the set of regularly realisable groups is closed under wreath products, which gives you some non-abelian soluble groups.

But according to Jack Sonn, Brauer groups, embedding problems, and nilpotent groups as Galois groupsBrauer groups, embedding problems, and nilpotent groups as Galois groups, Israel Journal of Mathematics 85, which, alas, is 1516 years old, it is not even known whether all finite nilpotent groups are regularly realisable over $\mathbb{Q}(x)$. I don't know of any more recent developments (there has been quite a lot of work over "large" fields instead of $\mathbb{Q}$).
