A weightlifting belt should be used judiciously and only when you really need one, and you only really need one whenever there’s a heavy load on your spine. The only exercises where you experience this kind of load are barbell lifts like squats, deadlifts, strict presses, and the various Olympic lifts.
You don’t need to wear a belt when you’re curling or using any machine because there’s no load on the spine when you’re doing those movements (in fact you don’t need to be using a machine, period). You also don’t need to wear a belt when you’re bench-pressing; by lying down on a bench, you’ve taken the load off your spine.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Don't think you've ever entered a gym. Research a bit more, watch some you tube videos and you'll find out why a belt is helpful for heavy lifting, even on a flat surface. ESPECIALLY if you have a bad back like Asim has (allegedly).
