How to do a loft with two tangents

I am trying to create a loft that is tangent at one end and then tangent to a sketch that is 90 degrees from the initial sketch. I am trying to have the loft finish like the black line in the image. I have attached a pkg file to show the parts.

Surely it would be easier to sketch the profile you want and then revolve it. You get complete control over the shape that way.
 
Thank you for your reply.
I understand that doing a profile is one option. I am also trying to better understand how to use the loft command. There is no defined profile so I was use the loft command to create the arcs needed. I ended up putting a point at the vertex and doing a loft that way. Not perfect but certainly enough to finish up the design. I will have to explore what I can do using the arcs command set
