Continue takeoff and ASAP it.

Way more dangerous to abort a takeoff than it is to takeoff without your seatbelt. If I was the PF I'd probably say something so the captain would be ready to see me bounce off the ceiling and take the controls if something crazy happened. "Heads up captain, I don't have a seatbelt on, be ready if something crazy happens". It takes a while to accelerate to V1 from under 80kts, so you've got time to warn him.
