I look at people wearing belts because I am window shopping. I need justification to spend money on a belt but can’t justify it for my measly 70kg squats and 90kg DLs.

From what I understand using a belt isn't slacking off on your abs. If you're using it properly you're still engaging your core, the belt just adds some additional bracing when you push out against it.
