Bathroom circuits

[h250]

Hi everyone,
I'm redoing a bathroom and trying to figure out how many circuits are needed.

I believe I need a 20A circuit for the GFCI outlets.

I'm planning on putting in a fan/light/heater combo. So I believe I need a separate circuit here.

Where I'm confused is that I plan on have a couple other lights in here (over the vanity, in the shower).

Can these be added to the fan/light/heater circuit? I would plan to use 20A for this circuit to account for the extra lights (as the fan/light/heater only needs 15A), but I want to be sure that's allowed or to see if there is something else I should be doing.

Thank you!
