The Father God spiritually quickened Simon Peter to this truth. It is essential in Christianity to be spiritually quicked by Father God to know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Just read the chapter. Jesus told Peter that it was the Father God who gave Peter this revelation.

His brother brought him to Christ, but The Holy Spirit gave him the revelation that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living God.
Others can bring you to Jesus, but you cannot call Him LORD without The Holy Spirit.

I believe that he found out when Jesus told him to fish at the deep end of the lake. When he dropped the net the net was filled with fish. Peter had spent the whole night fishing without catching a thing, so when Jesus performed the miracle he had to believe!

Sure do. If I tell you will you accept it as the truth? I tell many people but revelation of God makes it real to them. Christ was revealed as the Son of God to Peter by God.

It was reavealed to him by God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

They knew the prophecies from the OT but it wasn't until Jesus calmed the storm that he declared that He was the Christ.

Through common sense, reading the old prophecies made by Isaiah, David, Jeremiah, and the 'minor' prophets, and by putting two and two together.
