Likely some app is using a lot of CPU and that is increase the heat generated which increase the temp which then results in the fan running at a higher speed.

See:

Install a temperature/fan speed monitoring application.

Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.

When the MBP gets hot, post images of both for review.

Also run Apple diagnostics:

Post the results.
