Hi Bo!
The belt is basically to support a dirk, which is extremely unusual, usually inappropriate, often a problem, and inevitably a nuisance. Other than that it's decorative.
Your kilt should fit without it. Consider having your kiltmaker move the buckles/ straps an inch or so and letting him/her know that s/he missed the mark.
Beyond that, you can do that yourself and if you use the search engine here you'll find instructions, or add buttons for suspenders which are quite appropriate with a kilt as noted in another current thread, and invisible if you're wearing a sweater/ jumper/ pullover or vest.
You can always wear the belt decoratively and tight. It does help in a situation like yours.
Meanwhile... good question, and glad you're on board!
