How to resize WPF controls on a grid at runtime (maintaining proportions)

I am currently working on a C # WPF application that contains a full screen Gridwith controls that are dynamically added to it at runtime. I have code that allows the user to move these controls through Gridwith mouse events. Now I want the user to also resize the controls (while maintaining the aspect ratio), also at runtime. I have seen various tutorials describing how to do this using controls Canvas(and Thumb), but none of them are Grid. Since I cannot use Canvasin my application, is there an efficient way to implement this on a grid? To give you an idea of ​​what my code looks like, I have placed the mouse events below: [Edited below]
