I haven't read the books but dragons get bigger as they get older.

Vhagar is around 180 years old and dragons growing their whole life (most of course in the first years). Meanwhile Arrax is same age as Luce, around 12 years old by show time.
Balerion is considered to be the biggest dragon (at least of post-Valyria) and you can see his head several times during the first season. (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gameofthrones/images/5/50/BalerionHotDGuide.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220823031421)
