Hi ugotaccpaced, your quick test is already looking pretty good!

A couple of things you can do to fix that - you should be able to boolean union those pieces you have there together and then apply a fillet to the sharp edge there to round it out.

Or another way is to make the lofted surface to be wider yet and actually cover the whole area, and incorporate that kind of shape in the profiles. But the way you're doing it gives you kind of more control over the outline of the bulgy part.

Another possible method is to use the Blend command to make a smooth transition between 2 areas, something like this:
