Default Unevenly toned arms what to do

Basically my left arm is more distinctivly(?) toned than my right. Kinda of odd because I'm a righty but my whole life I have be stronger in the left then right. I started going to the gym last week and have been doing pretty good with switching it up every day and having a good diet. My question is if I continue to just workout like usual will my right arm catch up so to speak to my left or should I lift more wieghts with my rigth than my left. Also, is this something that is normal.

Take measurements. If one is smaller, cut volume from larger one. Or maybe more drastic if its alot.

Mine are 1/4 inch difference or so.

Just work through the imbalance. Things should even up fairly quickly.

When you do arm exercises, start with the weaker one and end with the weaker one.
