Why is my LG Aristo getting hot when tethering and using hotspot

On my LG Aristo it gets hot when tethering using my Hotspot

It will. You're using both the WiFi and LTE radios, and running lots of data through them. Not only does that generate heat but the high draw on the battery will also generate heat. No, plugging the phone in won't cause it to heat less.
