As of October 2023, the most recent discoveries of non-dwarf planets in our solar system primarily involve the identification of large celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt. While some potential candidates have been proposed, the most notable is "The Goblin" (2015 TG387), which is classified as a trans-Neptunian object but has not yet been officially designated as a planet. The search for new planets continues, particularly in the distant reaches of our solar system, but any discoveries are subject to ongoing research and confirmation.
As of my last update, there are eight recognized planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The International Astronomical Union redefined the criteria for planethood in 2006, leading to the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. So, currently, there is no new planet in the solar system.
As of now, there are five recognized dwarf planets in our solar system: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres. These celestial bodies meet the criteria set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for dwarf planets, which include orbiting the Sun and having sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape. While other objects may be classified as potential dwarf planets, these five are officially recognized.
Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are the dwarf planets found so far. As you can see there are 5 now, not just 4.
Most dwarf planets are found in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune. They are believed to have formed in this region and represent a class of celestial bodies that are smaller than planets but larger than typical asteroids.

The key differences between planets and dwarf planets are their size, location, and ability to clear their orbit of other objects. Planets are larger celestial bodies that have cleared their orbit of debris, while dwarf planets are smaller and have not cleared their orbit. Additionally, planets are located in the inner solar system, while dwarf planets are often found in the outer solar system.

In the Kuiper Belt, apart from Ceres which is in the Asteroid Belt.

The solar system is found between the orbits of two planets, with the innermost known planet being Mercury and the outermost known planet being Neptune. The solar system also consists of other celestial bodies such as dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
In the solar system, we have a star, planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteors, and human debris. (such as old satellites, probes, etc.)

Pluto is a dwarf planet. there has been dwarf planets found bigger then pluto.
there is the sun and 8 planets and a dwarf planets as well as one asteroid belt. here is the list of planets in order from the sun; mercury, Venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. the dwarf planet is pluto. hope this was good enough!
Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are the dwarf planets found so far. As you can see there are 5 now, not just 4.
If by small bodies you mean planets, then Jupiter is the answer you want. If you mean dwarf planets, then you are looking for Ceres in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.
