How come my backup through iTunes is 160GB While my iPhone is 128GB capacity??

I did a full offline backup because I think there's something wrong with my iCloud backups.


Only the offline backup through iTunes is 160GB, and now I can't restore from that backup, and my last iCloud backup was 26th May 2021(weird not backing up automatically) and it's only 108GB.


What can I do to restore from my computer since now it's telling me there's not enough storage on my iPhone???

iPhone 12 Pro
