You cannot spot reduce as is suggested. That does not work. You can use muscle to hide or hold back, but that doesn't reduce. If you go too hard core (which is very hard for any one to do) you can actually increase your waist size through exercise. Keep in mind this is REALLY hard to do. You can do this becuase your stomach is a muscle, you can increase the size of your stomach muscles. The best way to lose fat around your waist is through cardio workouts and diet. Do a cardio work out at least 4-5 times a week. You can do core (ab and back) workouts every other day to 2-3 times a week. Drink water in place of all other liquids (tea is OK), eat healthier foods such as fruits, veggies, meat (not deep fried), whole foods and grains. Do not eat any fast food. Bad stuff. You can also add weight training in to help you build muscle to burn fat faster. Cardio and diet are the true answers.

The Waist Twist is a good simple exercise that helps you firm up and tone your waist. The exercise is low impact and a nice gentle warm up before adding the Sit-Ups and Crunches into your daily workout. Remember, always stay in your own comfort zone during the exercise and keep good form, move slowly and with smooth movements.
• Sit fully upright on a chair with feet flat on the floor slightly apart.
• Place your fingertips so they are touching the top of the shoulders, so the arms are bent at the elbows.
• Slowly twist the elbows, arms and shoulders as if you are turning to look over your shoulder. Don't turn your head, let it follow round with the upper part of your body.
• Throughout the turn keep your abdominal muscles tensed.
• Once you have reached as far round as is comfortable, slowly rotate back round to the opposite side, then return to the starting position.
• Repeat the exercise for a further 5-6 repetitions.

no. just genetics some people lose easily from waist, some people can't lose thigh fat.
calories are the only important factor. (multiply goal weight times 10 and eat that many calories)
and exercise for good health but that is secondary.
