Windows 10: Antimalware Service Executable kind of using to much RAM, isn't it?

I recently uninstalled the pre-installed McFee antivirus to keep Windows Defender only but after a week or so I just noticed that the Antimalware Service Executable MsMpEng.exe is using kind of high RAM. Not sure if this is a normal amount of RAM or if I should pay attention to it because I feel this is not giving me much RAM left to work with and not sure if I increase the RAM then usage will also grow.Sometimes it goes up to 250-300 MB, which becomes even higher than the main application I might be running at the time.Not sure what would be the best approach here, I was looking into it som

Antimalware service executable high ram usage

So my antimalware service executable(MsMpEng.exe) is using around 200mb ram and slowly keeps going up the longer my pc is on.

Ive added it to the list of exclusions and unchecked all conditions in task scheduler. Can someone tell me how to reduce the ram usage without disabling it? Because i dont have any other antivirus.
