Almost any program or service will do, like GO ontology But.. the problem you are facing is that the statistical power you have to run an enrichment with the GO terms included in only 19 genes could be not enough

My favorite tool for GO analysis is EnrichR:

https://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr/

It's up-to-date, well-maintained, and gives you comprehensive enrichment results (it will perform enrichment across a variety of databases: GO, KEGG, Wikipathways, and much much more).

In fact, I've encountered peer reviews recommending EnrichR and arguing that using certain other GO programs by themselves may not be sufficient.

Notice that the EnrichR example file you can load from that page contains 1000 genes... I emphasize that a GO enrichment with such a poor number of genes (19) is unlikely to be performed
