A gif output is always larger?

If it is an animation, the number of layers (frames)
Does the new gif have transparency.
If the old file is optimised and you un-optimised for editing Maybe re-optimising not as efficient.

The one thing that can get larger is the color map. How many colors does the original have compared with the new file. Open the colormap dock Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Colormap

It is an animation. It has no transparency in visual. It contains 75 frames and 254 colors. After dealing, it is lossless, still original frames and colors. 

Original file: 2.6MiB.
Outputing directly: 3.2MiB.
Un-optimesing selection: 3.8MiB.
Optimizing for gif selection: 4.1MiB.
Optimizing selection: 4.3MiB.


I heard gif is a complex format. Now it seems indeed.
