I also measured the current before installing the microcontroller and it was about the same, so I assume the other parts are causing the 200mA.

The microcontroller warms up a little bit but nothing seems to overheat. There is also a buck-boost regulator on the board and the whole board (without any LED light up) draws about 90mA-200mA when powered with 5V.
