If the belt is good AND clean as described above, replacing the clutch is an uncomplicated process. Basically four steps which does not involve jacking up the cart. All work is completed with the seat lifted off.
1. Remove the belt.
2. Remove the retaining bolt and washer then pull off the old clutch.
3. Slide on the new clutch then replace the washer and bolt then torque to 21-24 lb-ft.
4. Replace the belt.
I have the service manual for a 2020 but the procedure should be identical.

So, there are weights and rollers that DO wear out and can cause the problems the OP stated. You also need a clutch puller to remove the primary. You also need to get access the the bolt, which very well might require the cart to be jacked and an impact driver wouldn't hurt. The OP stated they were not mechanically inclined, so this is not a task I would suggest. And if it's the driven clutch, "all work will NOT be completed with the seat off".
