Is it fine if my right arm is bigger than my left arm?

I don't really mean bigger, as in something you see by the naked eye, but I'm a left-handed person and when I exercise I train both my arms evenly, and whenever I measure them (every two weeks), my right arm has about a 1.5cm difference. Is it normal?

Thanks

    Actually my butt is something that i'm now working one side more than the other because one side is so much weaker than the other that it's becoming obvious that one side is bigger than the other. So yeah. extra reps on the weak butt cheek!

    I’m right handed. My left arm is bigger than my right and I can actually see it. You probably wouldn’t notice it until I told you to look. And my left leg is smaller than the right by measurement. I’m “left legged” in that I favor my left leg first for exercise and hiking. When I did a weight loss challenge almost everyone measured different somewhat from one side to the other. Totally normal. (As mentioned above, I also perform extra reps on my weaker sides.)

    Perfectly normal for about 80% of the population. We are not robots.
