I think I found the meaning.
It refers to the roll of fat round a person’s waist.
Believe me or not this language is really tricky ;’-(((

Your are right.

spare tyre - is often the term used to refer to a roll of fat around the waist or hips.
start shaving off - is not often used to express loss of weight, but that’s what it indicates here. My guess is that the article goes on to outline things you can do to lose weight.
