Your Buddha is a Japaness hotei god
Sorry to inform you but the gods with the fat bellies, are hoteis, the Japanese god of giving good things, he comes in various forms but always with the fat belly and bald head, a giver of good things, babies, music, coins, etc. A Buddha is a Chinese God and always is a young man with coils on his head, usually sitting with arms resting on legs crossed. Most people do think the hotei is Buddha so you are not being an idiot but still if you want to write about your god and its importance then please be accurate. There is enough misinformation on the Web.
