Re: Size of the table is growing abnormally in my database.

There's a handful of hidden columns like Xmin and Xmax per row that you're
not accounting for, header info per page, reserve space, free space... The
physical size on disk is reasonable.

Otherwise you can reduce the number of rows by cleaning up and moving out
old data, reduce the width of each row by getting rid of any unused columns
or switching to narrower data types, or drop unused indexes. If none of
that works for you then you're going to have to adjust your disk budget.
