Are you sure that you use the same export settings as before? This could explain the difference between the previous PDF file size and the last one.

If you didn't change the InDesign file itself you have to closely check the export settings you are using.

The PDF will include all of your graphic; The InDesign file only includes proxy images. What you're seeing is perfectly normal. There is absolutely no way to predict the file size of a PDF based on the size of an INDD file.
