Thank you all for the suggestions. I did a vacuum and the size has gone down drastically. But still it is not the same size as my master. I am looking into it

Two useful commands:
vacuum verbose mytable;
This will show you how many rows/pages can/should be cleaned up.
SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('mytable') );
This will show you the size of "mytable" (formatted nicely).
