MacBook Pro from 2019 gets too hot.

I purchased a brand new MacBook Pro in 2019 for my photography. I am a sports photographer and only use it for this purpose. It gets very hot. almost burns my lap. took it in because I had apple care but they simply uninstalled my software (which was not much - photo mechanic, photoshop and Lightroom classic). I am still having the problem. Their "diagnostics" showed that my battery was working fine. Trust me it may be working but it is incredibly hot. I got a lemon. My husband has a MacBook Pro from an earlier year, uses the same software and does not have this problem. I have an awesome MacBook Air from 2013 that works great. This product works but it is too hot to where my lap burns. Any ideas on how to fix? Will not likely purchase apple care again. Was pretty worthless.
