Have you looked into the 'changes' file from LilyPond?  The first
entry for the 2.25.x series is

  Margins are now wider by default following the general layout of
  several publishers (and the recommendations of Elaine Gould).

  In order to switch back to the previous settings (e.g., to keep the
  same layout when upgrading an existing score to version 2.25.14),
  add the following code:

  ```
  \paper {
    top-margin = 5\mm
    bottom-margin = 10\mm
    top-system-spacing.basic-distance = 1
    top-markup-spacing.basic-distance = 0
    left-margin = 10\mm
    right-margin = 10\mm
    inner-margin = 10\mm
    outer-margin = 20\mm
    binding-offset = 0\mm
  }
  ```

It seems to me that you should adjust the `top-markup-spacing` value
in your settings.
