If I am correct a good solid diet and do enough fat burning cardio a week to create a calorie deficit will get rid of your fat around the waist. Thats what I have been doing and I have also been lifting weights and lost around 2inches off my waist.

Did you use this site for your recommended amount of calories per day? It usually estimates way high. Try 10-12 calories per pound of body weight per day. Unless you are obese, this should be a good starting point. If you are creating a reasonable caloric deficit, you should be losing weight. I'd take a look at your diet for starters.
