Why is it masculine?
Cinturón is masculine. The word derives from Latin "cinctūra" (feminine, meaning "girdle" or "belt"). In Spanish, the diminutive/augmentative suffix "-ón" (which is inherently masculine) was applied to create "cinturón," and masculine nouns ending in "-ón" are a productive pattern in Spanish. The gender is masculine because of the "-ón" suffix, which carries masculine gender.
