Hard to say if Igor is the tallest tiger I have ever seen. For example this one is of similar height (but much more robust). And I have seen others of similar height. 

I used to be 187 cm when I was 20. Now Im something shorter - perhaps 183 - 185 cm (so average height of a man). "Is his shoulder height near your bellybutton" - could be, but I have never been in a postition to judge it.

Yes,You had once mentioned this tiger of 250 kg+ and was bit overweight

Definitely over 250 kg. I asked my friends to estimate the weight and they concluded that he is 300 kg if not more. My estimate was more conservative, but there was no doubt that he is over 250 kg. I heard how one visitor said "this tiger is twice as big as that lion" (there was a adult male lion of standard size in next enclosure). Reply
