Patience. Jiggle it and see if it comes loose.

Odds are the Pendulum weight is stuck. First try sliding seat forward so you can get a to the retracter, give it a hit with your first or a mallet while giving a little push back on belt or winder.
if this doesn't work try giving a 3/8 extension as a punch give the mount bolt a wrap or 2 if this fails your pulling the Adjuster

Also the cinch button Locks the belt but should allow the belt to function normally once retracted
