how much are you lifts.
if they are not alot then I think you will only keep your back weak by wearing a belt.
the idea is to strengthen your back not have something else support it

with reps of 3x10: 225 on squats, 155 on front squats, 155 on hang clean, and 225 on deadlift. or something close to that
dont worry about belts
the deadlift is to stregthen your lower back and if you are lifting that light of a weight and need a belt for your back then I suggent lowering the weight.
if you wear a belt now and not lifting huge weights then IMO your back is going to start depending on the belt and not get strong
when I work warehouses I never wear a belt and never had a back injury where I know some guys tha tdo wear belts and they were laid up from back problems.
but in the end its all up to you and what you are comfortable with
I wouldnt though
profile says your 145 ,how old are you

im 16
plenty of time then plenty of time.
make sure you have perfect form on your squats and deadlifts and if your back is sore then lighten the weight and move up slow.
stregthen that back its better than having to wear a belt
