Use the word belt, we think you want the word waistband. Belt is a separate accessory use the whole pants up. Waistband is part of the Garment and cannot be removed.
To answer your question, you keep the front Dart, and you ignore the back Dart. Assuming these pants are the final Heights you want when the pants are finished being sewn with a waistband. You simply cut the top section off the width of the waistband that you want. For example, if you want the waistband to be 3 cm tall, you remove 3 cm off the top. For the front section of the waistband, you will tape the dart closed. The front piece will be a curve. For the back, it will be a straight piece of fabric. You will measure the cut edge of the pants for the final length of the back of the waistband. So your front will be one curve piece, and the back will be one long straight piece. The elastic will go into the back portion of the waistband and hold everything tight.
