No. Because it is reported speech, the tense of the reported speech must match the reporting speech. Therefore, the sentence in this case should read: “He said that he loved eating rice.”
If it were not reported but quoted speech, then it should read: “He said, ’I love eating rice.’”
If it were not reported but quoted speech, then it should read: “He said, ’I love eating rice.’”
