How to get the size in KB of a table?

How I could get the size in KB/MB of a table by using GCinfo?

local memoryUsage = gcinfo()
local memoryUsageAfterGC = gcinfo() - memoryUsage
print("Memory usage of the table: " .. memoryUsage .. " KB")

I tried this and yeah it kinda prints an estimated size:

local httpS = game:GetService("HttpService")

local aTable = {
	["Imagine"] = {Many = "Stuff", In = "this", Table = "aaa"},
	["Imagine2"] = {Many = "Stuff", In = "this", Table = "aaa"}
}

local encode = httpS:JSONEncode(aTable)
local byte = string.len(encode)
local kb = byte / 1024
local mb = kb / 1024

warn(kb,"KB")
warn(mb,"MB")

But how could I do it by using GC? Or any suggestion to get the size of a table?

Thank you for your time, any suggestion is appreciated!

The docs state that the GC is sandboxed to only allow the count operation. So I would say your options are pretty limited.
