I don't believe there is a direct relationship. Your genetics determine where the weight comes off, when it comes off.

I am 6' and for me it's about 6lb per inch on the belly.

x2. You cannot spot reduce. Personally my body is more pear shaped(as opposed to apple shaped), so it takes a lot of weight loss to loose inches off my waist, but my glutes loose inches much faster. If you carry most of your fat in your gut, your more likely to loose waistline inches easier

Ive lost just over 60lbs and most noticable is my arse and thighs which weren't that fat to begin with.

I carry a lot of fat in my stomach,The first 30lbs lost my waist barely moved,then in the last 35lbs has gone from 55" to 48.5".It looks like I am going to have to lose a good 140lbs to get near the 38" I want.Mind you I started at 340+lbs
