I once have the same problem. In my case it's because most of my table using text datatype. When I change the field type to character varying (1000) database size reduced significantly

Unfortunately, I haven't investigate more, but it looks like how postgres stores data

that doesn't make any sense. text and character varying storage is exactly hte same, the only difference is the varchar has an optional length constraint
