Dear
there are several reason why heart could be seen on X-ray as large
I would reccomend to schedule an appointment with your cardiologist and undertake a cardiac ultrasound
That will clarify if there something wrong or not
If you don't have difficulties in breathing or chest pain and as you don't have risk factors I don't think you have reason to worry too much
