Not much information to go on since there could be more than one explanation.
In most cases, the file size is primarily directly proportional to the combined total data rate for all data contained in the file. (I.e., if the total data rate of the file is doubled, then the file size is doubled.) So the first step is usually to compare the data rates of the files in question.
The second step would be to compare the compression formats being used. Some compression formats are more efficient than others. (I.e., some compression formats simply operate in different ranges of data rates or may have options and/or settings that tend to vary or limit data rates or vasry the distribution of data within the file.)
Lastly, some compression formats have specific peculiarities depending on how the data is stored or how the file size is calculated/reported.
Once again, since you have provided no specifics here, it is virtually impossible to provide any definitive answer to your question regarding how to change this.
