Upgrade 2012 iMac to Catalina

How do I upgrade my iMac (21.5 inch, Late 2012) to Catalina? When I click on the apple support link to "upgrade to Catalina", it offers macOS Big Sur only (which is incompatible with my older mac).

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Thanks Yashchitroda for getting back so quickly. My iMac model is listed here as being compatible with Catalina iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012) but the apple link to the Catalina upgrade only offers Big Sur (which is incompatible with my iMAc).
