Any discomfort, any pain associated with asymmetry should be addressed. Otherwise if minor change which cannot be seen easily should be ignored.. Key is to stay fit with regular exercise, balanced diet and sleep.

Slight assymetry which is not visible enough is absolutely alright.
Usually the dominant side is slightly stronger than the non dominant one.
Next Steps
Do not worry about uniformity issues unless visible.

Slightly bigger which is not very noticeable is no issue. If it's not, consult a physician. Whichever part you use more, becomes bigger in size/greater in no. depending upon the type of tissue and nature of force applied.

Suryanamaskar poses will be of help for proper structural balance.

Make sure you are not unnecessarily focusing on this esp. if you don't have symptoms.

Slight difference is acceptable but otherwise
Consult with a physiotherapist who have orthopaedic experience for proper biomechanical assessment and corrective treatment.
