Cutting a hole between two faces that increases in diameter.

I'm trying to cut a hole that passes from a circle on one face to another circle on an opposing face, the two circles have different diameters.
The main body consists of a pair of extruded sketches and a loft to join them making the main body of the object. I have then created two circles on the opposing faces and am trying to cut a hole between the two. I tried using a loft between the two circles with a boolean subtract but it doesn't like the use of sheet tools.
Any suggestions as to how to make this work?
Thanks

You can use a solid loft to create the "hole" but also use the "Remove" option at the same time. Make sure to set the correct merge scope of parts to removed from (it might be Merge with all)
Loft should work. It will help if you share your doc.
I'm with Greg and Matt that Loft is the right tool. It does appear to have some twist to it in your screenshot, so look into Match Connections options in Loft.
Thanks for the comments. I did use the loft as suggested to make the cut, although part of the issue I had was that my main shape extrusions were 'surface' rather than 'solid' for some reason, which meant I couldn't 'cut' the shape out. All now resolved. Thanks again.
Evan, the twist is actually the fact that the bore of the hole increases towards the lower face and its centre is also displaced.
