I have NOL in 2019 to carry forward. 2020 has NOL on its own. Do I need to deduct 2019 NOL in 2020 income, or skip 2020 and carry 2019 NOL directly to 2021?

You must follow the NOL rules (that are confusing at best)  and recompute the 2021 return to add the NOL then follow the carry forward of the allowed NOL amounts. This is not a simple calculation so I highly recommend you seek professional assistance with this issue.
