It could very well be a term of endearment, and the person feels close enough that they can converse with you on that level. I wouldn't necessarily say it is intended in a derogative way, as people usually only talk with someone in that manner if they like them and feel comfortable doing so. Do you dress in a manner that your belly button is always showing? Or are you short? These characteristics of your own would give you more insight into the mindset of the person saying that. A lot of insight can be gained in looking at the person's facial expression when they say this, for if their face genuinely lights up and they smile when they see you...you obviously represent something good to that person.

Could mean they feel very "attached" to you. Remember we only have one belly button so maybe you are "the one for them"

It means, you are very small. I don't think I'd like someone calling me that.
