[Flutter] Flutter App Size İncrease Too much after Updating Dependencies

I create a Flutter app 2 years ago and I updated my App's flutter and gradle files and dependencies time to time but since I knew that there were problems with every update, I had not updated these files and requirements for about 1 year. I changed my computer a few weeks ago, so I had to move the code of my application to the new computer I bought. Of course, I had to install the new updated flutter version on the new computer. As a result, I also had to update the kotlin files and gradle files. When I updated them, I also had to update the outdated dependencies. Even though I struggled a lot with all these, as a result, I was able to make my application run the latest versions for each file and run it. But when I wanted to build my application, I saw that the size of my application increased from 38MB to 80MB. Since my application is also an application installed on the Google Play Store, I know that the size of an application uploaded to the market must be low due to reasons such as speed and compatibility. What could be the reason for such a large increase? Is it normal that there is an increase of approximately 40MB by just updating the files I mentioned above? If not, how can I restore it to its previous state?

My past file 38mb is build with flutter build apk --release, my new file build with this too, to can compare same things. If you want to learn --split-per-abi for my new file it is 65MB.

Im currently using Flutter 3.22.1, Gradle 8.4.0 and Kotlin 1.9.23.
