This is the pattern I use to make belts. It is meant for 40mm wide belts. It is fully stitched (no rivets).
A wedge is needed to shape the belt loop. I recommend letting the loop rest for 48 hours. Wetting the loop will probably bring better results. The loop length should be adjusted based on the leather thickness.
I also recommend thinning the leather on the part where the loop is, with the help of a skiving machine.
