OHP is not an exercise you want to compensate for a lack of core strength with the use of a belt. You might as well be doing a seated press.
Don't push the bar out to avoid your nose, as you'll have a long way round, with poor leverage before you can get under it. Briefly tilt your head back to get your nose out of the way and get under the bar as soon as possible.
@spenceey drop the weight and do this ^ and maybe widen your grip and feet slightly

Conversely, OHP is not an exercise you want to compromise your potential core strength by not using a belt.
I don't use it for lighter warmup sets, but will put it on for working sets.With one available, why wouldn't you use one?

I find a belt really helpful with OHP. A deep breath into your belly and brace against the belt keeps your core stable.
