As far as I know we don't grow any new fat cells, it's just that the ones we do have get larger.

There is a maximum size after which individual cells will split. It becomes harder to regain your old shape because when you lose weight the existing cells shrink but never shed, so you can end up with new cells you can’t get rid of.

For the tiny minority of people who lift for hypertrophy, they do gain new myonuclei. That's probably the only real exception though
