Android Studio keystore not found

Question

I have an Android project published on google play, signed with my previous installation of Windows and Android studio.

Due to formatting the PC (the computer is the same), I lost the .jks file to sign the application.
If I have the key store password with which to sign this app.

Can I re-sign the app with the same keys as before?
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
I would like to update the app, instead of having to issue a new one.

UPDATE:

I have copy to keys ssh

If you lost the .jks file you're doomed!!! I would suggest create a new app — Samuel Robert, Sep 17 '16 at 10:38
you can not do anything to recover from the apk or something? — Delari Jesus, Sep 17 '16 at 10:39
Unfortunately, no. I had this problem a while back, and the app could be updated (I learned the hard way!). You should probably accept Amit Vaghela's answer, since it is correct. I wish you the best. — ACluelessProgramer, Sep 17 '16 at 10:41
Nope. .jks file contains the signature of the app. You'll need it when you want to release a new update to play store. reverse engineering the .jks file from apk is impossible. — Samuel Robert, Sep 17 '16 at 10:42
thank you very much for the reply, my worst fears are realized. a greeting — Delari Jesus, Sep 17 '16 at 10:43
No backup?! Really?? Pendrives are very cheap nowadays, you have no excuse. — Phantômaxx, Sep 17 '16 at 10:54
When that happens GGWP. Btw there is still a possibility to recover a formatted PC. — Enzokie, Sep 17 '16 at 11:00

I was trying to restore it via deleted files restoring tools, but it failed. So, there is no other way: you should issue another application.

Generally, the only advise that exists on keystores: "always back it up!"

The only way is that you can create an app with a new package name upload it to store and remove the old app.
