Default fluctuating temperature

hey guys, i bought an integra off someone and realized that the temperature gauge often fluctuates and it effects my idle. sometimes it wont warm up and sometimes it will. any ideas? should i change the thermostat?

also my seatbelt light is always on, any ideas on how to get that turned off?

thanks
