You're right in the case of conventional LVM. But OP is using an
encrypted one, and resizing an encrypted LV is much more complex
(it requires lvresize, cryptmount and resize2fs in the right sequence).
It's presumably possible (never done it personally), but complex.

Why? OP is using separate LVs for /usr and /var, so those 20G would be a
dead weight. 2G for / would be plenty.
