I have similar issues with sitting. I am 6' 5" (about 195 cm) tall, with long arms and long torso. With my feet flat on the floor and no support the guitar feels like a belt buckle. I have found that using a shorter stool has been helpful. I also mess around with a pillow support sometimes, but generally just sitting on a lower stool and crossing my right leg works good enough. If I try to bring the guitar too far up then my right arm wraps around behind the bridge and the wrist angle in my right hand becomes too acute. My biggest issue is being able to hold the neck at a comfortable angle. I wish I could get is a little higher, like Ramzi in his profile pic. I have to use the pillow for that, otherwise I get too much tension in the left hand. I grew up playing steel string guitars and almost always use a strap for this reason.
