I am (male - 28 years old) 171 cm. I was 68 kg (with waist 102 cm) two months ago and I am 63 kg now and still my waist 102 cm!! My food change was reducing fat intake and increasing vegetables and eating less than before. When fat burns it will burn from everywhere, but I didn't lose fat from my stomach. why??

There seems to be a misconception here. Not all weight lost is fat. Some of it is definitely muscle. Probably at least half.

Yes, when you burn fat, you burn fat from everywhere, but the repositories in and around your stomach area are far larger than the others. Getting a noticable reduction in waist girth means you simply have to lose more fat.

But at the same time, I have to draw a question mark here. 68kgs at 171cm doesn't seem obese for a male. In fact, I'd wager that a good bit of the weight you lost was muscle mass. And if you didn't achieve a noticable change in waist size, this strengthens the theory that you didn't lose as much fat as you thought.
