How to make an elliptical cylinder that has different cross section along its height?

Hi, I am trying to make an elliptical cylinder with different area as their bases. This cylinder looks as if it is crushed, therefore the middle cross section has the largest area . My plan was to draw multiple ellipses along its height and then use loft to make the 3d solid number 14. It was the same method I used to draw my solid number 2 in the file I have attached below. However, for some reason it did not work because the trimmed line (red line) did not intersect on the desired line (green line, #14)

 

So my questions are, how do you draw this solid, and why did trim do not work properly? Thank you.
