Morphology
The meaning 'a small pouch attached to a belt and worn around the waist' is directly and compositionally derived from 'belt' (waist strap) + 'bag' (portable container). This straightforward noun+noun compound follows common cross-linguistic naming patterns for wearable containers, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Belt bag comes from a simple image: a small bag attached to a belt and worn at the waist. Because it is actually a bag on a belt, the name now means a small pouch people wear to 'carry' their things 'around the waist'.
