We "buckle up" or "strap" our belts that we wear with pants.

I strap the belts myself that are attached to my brace to put it on.

Please check.
 
"Fasten" or "buckle" (without "up") is more natural, at least in AmE.
 
You might hear somebody say 'strap in' (especially on a small plane or some kind of buggy), but you won't hear 'strap your belt'.
 
I think "belt" (or "belted") is used.
 
I wore jeans and put a belt on it. I "fastened" or "buckled" the belt to tightened the jeans.

We can also say "I belted my belt" or "I strapped in my belt" or "I strapped my belt". Am I correct(
 
Read post #3 again.
 
I wore jeans and put a belt on THEM. I "fastened" or "buckled" the belt to TIGHTEN the jeans.

Even though it is one item, we use the the plural. (Just like with "pants".)

It should be no surprise that I agree with GS. (In my post I was referring to what Skrej said.)
 
We "fasten" or "buckle" our seat belts and I can use the same for my brace belts. But "I belted my pants" is it correct? I put belt on my pants to tighten it.
 
You fasten or buckle your belt. However, I am pretty sure "I belted my pants" isn't used.(You put your belt on, then you buckle it.)
