Definitely, 'for' is correct here.
This preposition is used with time periods (for example, for 16 years).
As about 'since' we use this preposition only with time moments (for example, since January, 1, or: since last Monday).

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief).
