Kilts should be "extra snug" and belts should be quite firm but not so tight as to cut off the circulation of blood. A well fitting (traditional) kilt is nearly like a moderate corset. If its not cut high enough or won't stay put then braces (suspenders) are on call and not a "tight" belt. Belts, has has been pointed out, have other functions than support. If the fabric is bunching up then I suspect that the kilt is not snug enough. I suspect that you still need to "crank down" on the kilt.
