I bought a new belt...
-
The old one was really falling apart. Turns out the new one is made from some bizarre stretchy material that looks like leather but stretches up to two inches from its original length. I find it annoying because I would use the "cool, I'm on to the next notch on the belt" to measure my slimming down around the middle. Now with this stretchy belt, there's no fixed reference. And a scale is not a good measure of slimming down in the middle because much of the slimming down is the result of exercise and building muscle. So, that's the big news in my world, lol.

So the belt tells you "Cool down, don't worry about that next notch!". If it makes you relax, maybe that is beneficial to your health in a different manner! One of my true leather belts has a rubber band section spliced in, so it behaves in a manner similar to yours. It was included with a pair of pants I bought for party occasions. So, where I previously had to loosen my belt after having eaten and drunk much more than what is healthy for me, this belt feels just slightly tighter, I don't really have to loosen it up. The answer to your problem is quite simple: Buy yourself a new true leather belt! What does it cost? Not a fortune, I'd think. Not in your part of the world. I was shocked when I bought my last true leather belt over here: It sure was a sturdy one, but it cost me the equivalent of about USD 100! I guess you could find one for the fraction of the price in your area.
