The most common reason egg whites and sugar will not for stiff peaks is that a bit of egg yolk or oil has come in contact with the egg whites. If the bowl and beaters have a residue of oil from a previous use, that is enough to prevent egg whites from stiffening.

Another possibility is that the sugar was added before the whites were partially beaten, or that the sugar was added all at once instead of gradually.

Meringue will not fluff if there is any trace of oil or grease on your bowl or utensils or you use plastic bowl or utensils. Nothing will help it if you do. You must use metal, glass, or ceramic bowls and metal utensils for making meringue.

Whipping the egg whites to soft peaks before you begin adding the sugar. Then continue beating them to stiff peaks while slowly adding the sugar.
