As described, this is legal. There are only a few times blocking below the waist is prohibited.

These are:

During downs where there is a legal kick

During all scrimmage downs, backs outside the tackle box and offensive linemen more than 7 yards from the ball at the snap cannot block back towards the original position of the ball unless more than 10 yards down field from the line of scrimmage.

As a part of high low combo block (chop block)


Other than these situations, it is legal. Note the blocking zone is irrelevant.
