Just did a google, look at your standard 13.8 billion at the top, then all the different articles bellow.

NASA I think would be the best source.

I really hate laypeople jumping on "we don't know". I think it is better to put it as "Our best data so far". It is still accurate to describe our OBSERVABLE universe being 13.8 billion light years in size.
No different than a doctor has a medical degree and when you get sick, sure they have to examine you to figure out what it is but that doesn't change their prior training. Data may change as new data comes in.
