Hello,
An engine can overheat due to a bad water pump, inoperative cooling fan, clog in the cooling system, stuck closed thermostat. It can also overheat due to being low on coolant.
Here is a helpful guide:

Since you have already replaced the thermostat and check the radiator and coolant level. The next item to check would be the radiator fan.
Does the fan come on when the engine is at operating temperature?

In operative cooling fan can be due to a bad relay, wiring issue or a bad fan motor.
Check the relay first, it is located in the fuse box under the hood.
Another possibility is a bad water pump, which is unable to circulate the coolant properly through the engine.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
