When you tie it like this it ends up crossing itself in the back, which aside from its aesthetic, can be an issue when rolling or under the koshi-ita. In my experience a preferable way is to have one side of the belt a little longer than it will be when hanging after tied, and then wrap the longer part around (over) the shorter side before tying. This will allow the belt to lay flat, one over the other, all around your waist. If you guessed your length wrong in the beginning you can rotate the belt until the knot is centred correctly.
