I used electrum because I wanted to make a quick purchase using BTC and as I ce said I don't keep any BTC client installed, I'm paranoic regarding security.
I have eset firewall, router firewall no ports open and Malwarebytes. So when I saw in electrum wallet 0.039 I panicked and started looking up.

For the transactions I used an older version of by core wallet because I had issues syncing it.

I lost every time a  transaction I made , and it's always the plissio address plus another one. But in my wallet I'm 100% positive it did not show, since I never had lower then 0.,09 or smt similar and you can see I always sent correct amount to plissio BTC adresa ending in lt


The addresses with the high amount have no transactions and are not emptied, that's why I was thinking maybe is the change address somehow? But then why is blockchair showing my balance as 0.039 instead of aprox 0.1…?

My BT core waller I closed since and did not get se it at all thinking I don't want to risk again losing something while doing a transaction.

My wallet has around 310 kb is that normal size? My 2017 wallet had like 90 kb. I keep many versions of my wallet, I loaded the 2022 wallet now, thinking all wallets are the same and it doesn't matter

The change should still be in the Bitcoin Core wallet that you originally used. You can’t see it in Electrum because Core sent the change to a different address type than your inputs. Electrum only supports one address type per wallet so to see your funds that are in native segwit addresses you have to import your seed phrase again and select the native segwit address type for the wallet.
