I've found that skipping a loop or two (or > 3) when attaching the belt will help reduce this problem. YMMV. If there's that many loops, I'd question who designed the PFD. I've got two (a WW rescue PFD and a SK tow PFD) and they both have only two loops on the side that releases - one on the front and one on the back. I've never had a problem with mine releasing when tested.
