You can't spot reduce. The body will lose inches from wherever it wants, based on body type, genetics and a host of other factors. It's quite common for the fat around the waist to be the last to go. Just keep losing more weight and you'll notice a difference eventually.

I've lost 33 pounds and I've lost inches from the weirdest places, including my upper arms, wrists and ankles, thighs, and collarbone. I'm squarely into a healthy BMI and only a few pounds from my goal weight. But my spare tire is still stubbornly staying put around my middle. Go figure.

The good news is, that sort of subcutaneous fat is highly visible but is probably less of a health risk than the visceral fat that you're losing without being able to necessarily see it.
