Thought I might add a little.

  1. Aspect ratio = inside diameter of loop / wire diameter

  2. Inside diameter = wire diameter X aspect ratio

Take the wire diameter and inside loop diameter you are using now
and figure the aspect ratio using # 1.

Use this aspect ratio and the wire diameter you would like to use to
figure the new loop diameter using # 2.
