when I charge the macbook pro it starts getting warm. I heard if u use it while its charging then your battery will last longer but the undersurface gets kinda hot after 1hour of casual use while it's charging. Is that normal?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
I have been using Laptop computers (Windows and Mac) for the past 25 years and have used them while plugged in and charging around 95% of the time. I have never had to pay any attention to it and have not suffered any adverse effects. I learned that a battery will degrade in health over time no matter how I careful I am with it. In the end, I focused more on enjoying my expensive computer vs focusing on how I can squeeze a few more days out of the batteries life cycle.
You also mentioned that the base of your MacBook Pro gets hot. No part of your computer should ever get hot. Areas of your computer may get warn from time to time but should never get too hot to touch.

Thanks bro. its not that Hot.. kinda warm id say esp if I am watching YouTube in chrome. But I found out that its a chrome issue.
But could you answer something else for me? Is it normal if I can't open the lid of my MacBook Pro with 1 hand? kinda need 2 hands or the base gets lifted. A friend of mine tells me I should be able to open it with one hand.
Warm is normal. I usually use two hands to open mine.
I normally use two hands to open my computer as well.
