Make 🐠, do you buy belts the same size as your pants? Ex: I have a 32 waist, but should I buy a 34 belt so that it fits correctly? Didn’t know if a 32 belt would be “too fitted”.

Add 2 to your pant size. Belts have 5 holes the 3rd hole (middle) is set at your pant size, so a 34 fits waists 30-34.

Yep, one size up for belts

Also keep in mind, many off the rack pants have significant vanity sizing, so your size 32 pants maybe a 33 or 34 true waist size. Most belts don't do vanity sizing but some do so...
