Raw File Size which is just the APK on-disk size. In your case it is 

APK size:13.8MB

The Download size shows an estimate of how much data will be used to download your app by taking into account compression applied by the Play Store and it is 

Download Size:13.4MB

I am not much sure about ll, That may be because of the size difference in the disk.

Size on disk is usually bigger than the actual file in most situations. This is because the way files are stored on the disk in tracks and clusters.

So, you shouldn't be worried about the size on disk. APK analyzer gives you the correct APK size which would be available for users to download.
