There is no definitive point at which you should start using a weight belt, though as a general rule of thumb it’s a good idea to consider it when you are lifting at least 60% of your one-rep-max. This is because your back and core muscles will be working with significant resistance and a bodybuilding belt (as they’re sometimes also known) will help prevent injury with these heavier weights.
A belt is mainly designed to be used for a few certain lifts, including a few heavy squat variations, deadlift variations, and the overhead press. Mostly, if not exclusively, a belt has the most benefits for barbell lifts and barbell training.
