I am trying to get the two faces in my document to loft be each time I try the inner profile just goes red. No idea how to fix this, would really appreciate some help.

    I bet the error you're getting says "cannot use faces or regions with inner loops as profiles."

    You need to do the loft in two steps (outside and inside), or loft the outside and shell it.

    Thanks for the input but I still can't seem to get this to work. What am I missing??

    Try making it thinner? Or flipping the thickness direction?

    Easiest would be to share a link to your public document.

    With a circle you'll likely have to set connections in the loft feature or break up the circle in segments that the loft can connect to the other profile
