A basic law of physics is that compressing a gas heats it, so even though the fusion rate is mostly the same, the core of the sun is still slowly heating up over time—which means the sun itself is getting more luminous. It settles in the center of the sun, building up over time (at the rate of 695 million tons per second!).
