Best Answer

The original meaning appears to be to have eaten or drunk something. If you have a good meal and a glass of wine under your belt, it's because you've swallowed them and they are in your stomach.

It's now more commonly used for achievements one has accomplished, especially achievements that you can have more than one of. (Years in a business, first place prizes, prior relationships, etc.) "With ten previous wins under his belt, he is pretty confident today."
