You said using a belt increases your output by 25%, so the belt has a direct affect.
The muscles that the belt is compensating for won’t be getting stronger. If you focused on improving these muscles rather than relying on the belt, you wouldn’t need a belt, and you’d be stronger overall.
Stabalising muscles are exercised by decreasing stability ie making them work harder. A belt has the reverse effect.
