Determine if you can correlate excessive heat production with a particularly burdensome app or process.
To learn how you can do that, read View CPU activity in Activity Monitor on Mac - Apple Support. You can sort that column by %CPU in descending order to determine which apps or processes are most active.
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) is justified if you are unable to correlate the fan activity to anything in particular.
