Chest size going down much faster then waist size?

Is this common?

Since i lost 3 kg(6.5 lbs) my chest size circumference is 4cm(1.5inch) smaller but my waist size only shrank 1cm(0.5 inch).

I lost way more then 3kg but i only started measureing chest and waist and hip when i was 3kg heavyer then now.

​

I am 177cm(5ft9.5) and 83 kg(183 lb) and my chest size is currently 100cm(39.3 inch)

I also measured my Hip size and looks like that went from 108cm(42.5 inch) to 105cm(41.3 inch)

So i am loosing for every 1kg about 1 cm from everywhere except from the belly from which i loose way less,this is pretty annoying.

Is this common that we loose much more from chest and hip then from waist?

And i this the trend to be expected,i mean every lost kg would be minus 1cm from chest and hip but only 0.4 cm from waist?

​

Also the National Health institute in america says that a waist size that's over 40 inch(101.6cm) for males is unhealthy,that means by this rate i would need to loose 9 more kg?(20 pounds) to get under that number?

That would put my BMI at 24.
