Technically you can install XCode (older version) on macOS Catalina depending on your goals. If you are a developer wanting to have your app on the App Store, then you will want to have the latest version of XCode which will require a newer version of macOS (I'm not sure of the details since I am not a developer). Check Apple's rules for what is required for developing apps for Apple products and/or the App Store.
Does your Mac even meet the system requirements for macOS 12.x Monterey? You can find the exact model of your Mac by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac".
