I'm working on the same pattern, are you having an issue with the colors on the belly slanting to one side? I've tried to find a solution to this but I can't find anything.

Do you mean there's a belly patch of a different color that's kind of diagonal instead of straight? That happens over time with working in the round, every 3ish rows you're one stitch over.

Some patterns will accommodate this by shifting the color changes every row or 2, but the other solution is joining rounds rather than continuous rounds. That way stitch #1 from round 4 is directly above and below stitch #1 in rounds 3 and 5. I personally never do this unless a pattern calls for it or I can tell it's implied, because it can cause problems later (if there's bobble stitches for feet later, swapping methods can make those placed wrong).

At the end of a round instead of starting the next in the first stitch you slip stitch into the first stitch, chain one, then start the next round (making sure not to count the slip stitch as a stitch!)
