Chamfered ellipse of varying thickness

[danielthehause]

Hey all, how would I go about modeling an elliptical solid of varying thickness with a chamfered top, where the chamfers meet in the middle? The attached image is what I'm trying to achieve in F360. 

This is where I am currently: see how there are flat spots on either side where the chamfers don't meet in the middle.

 Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Figured out one way. I just drew ellipses for the inner and out diameters, and one for the raised middle diameter, and then made lofts between them. Would still love to see other solutions

here is one way to do this:

1. start with your outer ellipse on one of the origin planes, making sure that it is centered on the origin:
   
2. create sketches on the other 2 origin planes, use Project Intersect of the ellipse to get a fixed intersection point and draw a shape something like this:
   
   you can vary the size and angles by editing these dimensions
3. at the end of this step, the 3 sketches look like this:
   
4. Then, loft the 3 profiles, using the ellipse as a centerline rail curve:
   
5. then, mirror this shape twice
