What does this sentence mean?
He loves me as much as I love myself.
He loves me as much as I love him.
It means whatever the speaker meant it to mean.
Logically, it means as much as I love myself, but (unless there's a rather special context) that is unlikely, so the speaker probably intends as much as I love him.
Don't expect logical consistency from speakers.
