nope, the belt is fine, another weird thing is that my car would discharge then after a few hours or overnight, it would startup again and after a few minutes and rev gauge would stop working and and car would stall

It might be both your alternator & battery. The alternator is undercurrent so it causes the battery to discharge, and if you leave a Lead-Acid battery for long enough can build up enough current to start the car.

Having an alternator undercurrent for long enough can cause a battery to fail early.

Just something to think about - definitely get your alternator checked.
