When you upload or copy/paste a raw image, github markdown will put in the rendered img tag the style max-width: 100%, so, it's mandatory to add the width and the height attributes for the img tag, any other thing will be removed by the renderer, so, only replacing the markdown with the img html tag adding the width and height will work.
