About losing weight
I've been jogging on the treadmill lately. Each morning, the first thing I did was jog for at least 30 minutes. To me, the most important reason for physical exercise was that I want to lose weight. It seems so harder to lose the weight around the waist. (What word can I use to describe this situation that when you have some extra fat around the waist. )
I guess every women in the world they all want to become more beautiful. that certainly includes me! As a woman, I always want to keeping in shape in my life. I heard there are many people who even chose to have plastic surgery. But I don’t think that is a good idea. It might makes you to be a beautiful women, but it will hurting your health at the same time.
Compared with people who live in the western nation, Asians are thinner than Westerners. But on the other hand, Westerners are taller than Asians. I am only five feet three tall. As one of my friends says：you are really short! He live in Portland, and was a tall and very kind American man. I know it was just a joke, because my husband also often said the same thing. I don’t care about my height. There are a lot of things we cannot changed just like the height.

Hi Tala. Your writing is basically great. Let me make a few grammar points that might help make it even greater ^_^.
"I've been jogging on the treadmill lately. Each morning, the first thing I did was jog for at least 30 minutes. To me, the most important reason for physical exercise was that I want to lose weight."
The grammar here is "correct", but as written, it means you did these things in the past and are not doing them presently. Because you are talking about what you do each morning, the verbs should be in the present tense. I believe what you mean is:
"I've been jogging on the treadmill lately. Each morning, the first thing I do is jog for at least 30 minutes. To me, the most important reason for physical exercise is that I want to lose weight."
"It seems so hard to lose the weight around the waist."
Or...
"It seems so much harder to lose the weight around the waist [than the weight on other parts of the body]."
Either one of these is fine, and the meaning is about the same. I would use the first one.
"(What word can I use to describe this situation that when you have some extra fat around the waist?)"
I think you are describing it very well: "you have some extra fat around the waist". Saying "weight" is fine, too.
I hope these small points help!

Losing weight is easier if you do it with a partner! For losing those extra fats in your waist, try completing at least 20-30 sit ups a day. This method helps me a lot. My waist line is 26" and I try my best to maintain it. True, for women, height does not matter--weight does! ^^
