Chamfer / Surface from Circle to Elipse

Hey Guys
I need to do some kind of chamfer or surface fill that connects a circle to an ellipse.
It should look like the sample below, but the outer walls are an ellipse.
My project looks like this from the top view:
The inner circle should be extruded by 20mm, the outer ellipse walls should be 20mm. between them there should be a chamfer.
My first intuition was to extrude the circle as a solid, then extrude the ellipse walls as faces und finally create the chamfer with a fill.
But that doesn't work, as shown in the screenshot below:
I really have no other idea, as a normal chamfer, a loft, revolve etc. don't work if you have the different shapes to connect.
Does anyone have a clue how i can do that? I have the strong feeling that i'm missing something pretty obvious.. :-/
I made a Version from the current state, in case someone wants to see it:

Thank you in advance for your help!

A loft should work. But you might need to divide your circle into segments to match the ellipse segments.
Hello Andreas. I came up with this but couldn't figure out how to fill it into a solid. - Scotty
