Most likely the weight obtained comes from a cat who was baited so a weight of around 120kg empty at his max puts him in the very large Jag category.

Yes, but you can't forget that Jafar is a dominant male in the region.
dominant males grow significantly more precisely because they have more food available.
the average for a normal male jaguar is 110 kg, but the dominant ones are generally larger and most I saw reach 130 kg or more, with the exception of Marley who at most was 120 kg.
and it was not baited, it was confirmed as empty during capture.

Jafar is already a male with the structure of a jaguar weighing over 130 kg.
However, because he is extremely young, his weight is less than that.
but in addition to being tall, Jafar is a very robust male, not so much when we saw him for the first time, but nowadays it is already quite noticeable, like here: Reply
