I'm following a YouTube tutorial and the icons from the video get bigger thanks to

font-size: 45px;

but in my code does not work for some reason, here the website from the tutorial:

and my website:

so, how to solve the font-size issue?

this is my code:

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: 'poppins', sans-serif;
}

.topbar {
  position: fixed;
  background: #fff;
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
  width: 100%;
  height: 60px;
  padding: 0 20px;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 10fr 0.4fr 1fr;
  align-items: center;
  z-index: 1;
}

.logo h2 {
  color: #d34d4d;
}

.search {
  position: relative;
  width: 60%;
  justify-self: center;
}

.search input {
  width: 100%;
  height: 40px;
  padding: 0 40px;
  font-size: 16px;
  outline: none;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 10px;
  background: #f5f5f5;
}

.search>label {
  position: absolute;
  right: 15px;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

.user {
  position: relative;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}

.user img {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}


/* sidebar starts here */

.sidebar {
  position: fixed;
  top: 60px;
  width: 260px;
  height: calc(100% - 60px);
  background: #e26666;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

.sidebar ul {
  margin-top: 20px;
}

.sidebar ul li {
  width: 100%;
  list-style: none;
}

.sidebar ul li a {
  width: 100%;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  height: 60px;
  display: flex;
  padding-left: 30px;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  align-items: center
}

.sidebar ul li a i {
  min-width: 60px;
  font-size: 24px;
  text-align: center;
  align-self: flex-start;
}

.sidebar ul li a svg {
  margin-right: 15px;
  width: 25px !important;
}


/* main section starts here*/

.cards {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 35px 20px;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-gap: 20px;
}

.cards .card {
  padding: 20px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 10px;
  box-shadow: 0 7px 25px 0 rgb(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
}

.number {

change your style like this:

.icon-box svg,
.icon-box i {
    font-size: 45px;
    color: #e26666;
}
