would you please correct my sentences?
I went to the medical store. I ask them for one pill. she said what kind of pill do you want? I told her the name of the pill. She again asked what type of them do you need? I said my husband taking it for losing fat around his breast.

my answer was wrong? because the way she was looking at me was so weird unfortunately.

Answer

I guess it might have had something to do with the whole situation rather than the specific grammar you used on that sentence, maybe she couldn't figure out what was the pill you were looking for. That being said,  I would have used "My husband is taking it to lose fat around his chest" instead.

Answer

Yes, the word "breast" normally used for females. In case of males "chest" more natural.

Plus, I guess it's a cultural difference as well, English speaking people generally more reserved, they would not go into details with a stranger as to what body part the fat need to be gone.
