I think a pre-owned Lenovo Thinkpad T14 would work well, especially with an AMD processor. Gen 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all pretty powerful and reasonably priced on the secondhand market and most should offer 32GB if not 64GB options.

Second hand markets in Nepal is tough to decide if they are offering value for money or not.

I have stumbled upon this seller. However unsure which are of value, and how to even decide? They seem expensive. I would not want to spend half of the price that I would on a new powerful laptop in a second hand device.

T series Thinkpads are excellent.
My old T470P has run 24/7 for 4 years acting as a "server" and running my TV.
Other than blasting the dust out once in a while I've not had to do a thing to it.
