Welcome to the forums!

Is this a hydro rider? If so, is the bypass for the hydro engaged? Did did it move before?

Hydro = hydrostatic drive. If you have a clutch then nevermind.

Wait until somebody more knowledgeable to shows up.

Need the model number of the mower for starters.
Most newer mowers have two belts, one for the blades, one for the hydraulics.

You say belt as in singular. Unless you have a hydro, you have more than one motion drive belt. Loose isn't good on the motion drive belt.

The long one is likely the blade belt, need to be looking at the short one way up under the frame.
It should be tight enough to play a tune on it.
Once I had the spring break on the idler pulley that holds the tension on the belt.
Another time the bolt was so over tightened right from the factory the idler could not move enough to keep the belt tight.
