Going by the Jackson Ratio, Taylor might possibly be a little heavy relative to his length. It is very important to take the carapace length measurement exactly.
Have a look at this

In the meantime don't worry too much. There is a huge variation as to size and growth rates in Hermanns. Oz

all tortoises grow at a different rate, I had 2 greek tortoises of the same clutch, one grew really fast the other stayed small, then once the bigger one reached 3.5 inches and the smaller one 2.5 inches, the smaller one cought up fast, sometiems they just have random growth spurts
