The most common reason for this is locking nodes in your scene with heavy/detailed geometry. This means Houdini saves the information describing the geo within the hip file itslef making it much larger.

Are you generating a lot of geometry and then locking the node? If so, try writing the geo out to disk and filing it back in via a file SOP at appropriate cut off points in your workflow.

If you have no locked nodes in your scene…hmm not sure..?!
