Backup size is too large for no reason

Backup size is too large and when I try to manage what to backup it doesn’t tell why it takes 16gb. And yes I’ve read lots of articles and none of them were useful. Pls help

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Please see this article that explains what iCloud backs up: What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support


Also, your screenshot shows that you've never backed up. I suspect that the 1st backup will take more space than the following backups but I cannot be sure: I personally back up on my local computer.
