Let $x^2=a,y^2=b,z^2=c$. Then we get the following problem: Restated problem wrote: Let $a,b,c \in \mathbb{R^+} \cup \{0\}$. Prove that $$ \frac{b}{2a+1}+\frac{c}{2b+1}+\frac{a}{2c+1} \geq \frac{a}{2a+1}+\frac{b}{2b+1}+\frac{c}{2c+1}$$ WLOG assume that $a \geq b \geq c$. Then we have $\frac{1}{2a+1} \leq \frac{1}{2b+1} \leq \frac{1}{2c+1}$. Thus, By Rearrangement Theorem on these two sequences, we get the desired inequality. Also, Equality holds for $a=b=c$.

You can't just subtract inequalities in your solution (cause the sign of the second inequality will change).
