This is all part of a joke:
"Excuse me, we... had this cart." (Politely informing the person)
"Yeah, well, I had a 24 inch waist... you lose things." (She clearly doesn't care)
She's saying she used to be much thinner a long time ago, but she lost that, and she is no longer thin and beautiful.
It's not exactly good reasoning, but it's somewhat funny. It's supposed to mean "You can't keep everything you want."

@Yuni822 No, it's a joke so the phrase is just supposed to mean "Losing things happens. Get over it."

@Yuni822 Well, yes, usually "to lose something" means you can't find it, or you don't own it anymore.
But here it's supposed to be like this conversation:
"Hey, this basket is mine!"
"Ok, well I'm still taking it because you can't keep everything you want forever."
