Drive disc slows under load

I have a Snapper 21" self-propelled mower. I changed the drive belt about 4 months ago and it's been working fine. All of the sudden the drive disc seem s to slipping under any kind of load including higher speeds (positions 4,5 &6). The belt doesn't seem to be worn and there's no obvious way to adjust the tension. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I did remove the belt and took it in to the local shop. The Snapper replacement belt was a bit wider than the one I removed. I'm pretty confident that the new belt will work. I tried to save a couple of bucks by purchasing a third party belt online and paid for a lesson.
