How do I skip 2 commands in hack if I don't know the exact line no. of which the code I want to jump to.
eg.
30.@33
31.D;JGT
32.M=M-1
33.M=M+1
But I don't know the line no. I am currently at(30), I just want to skip the next line of code(Go 2 steps forward instead of 1) if D;JGT is fulfilled.

Use a symbolic label:
@your_label
D;JGT
M=M+1
M=M+1
(your_label)
The assembler will figure out the address of your_label and insert it into the @-op. You don't need to keep track of what instruction address you are at.
