-p:SelfContained=true \
-p:PublishAot=true \
-p:PublishTrimmed=true

I don't know if it can suit your needs, but I remember using an exe compressor which reduced the executable size by 95% (i didn't make big projects though). The most effective one was mpress I did use it to obfuscate too (easily deobfuscated, but very effective for file size)
