You can apply for Settled Status five years after the earliest of the three events listed below;
a) your marriage to an EEA citizen if the marriage took place in the UK, OR
b) your entry into the UK after your marriage to an EEA citizen abroad, OR
c) the issue date of an EEA EFM Residence Card as the durable partner of an EEA citizen (if that was issued to you before your marriage).

Oh OK I thought you had gotten married before your card was issued.
Then as per discussed by @secret.simon above, you will be eligible for Settled Status in September 2022.
Time in cohabitation as unmarried partner without a card does NOT count, your clock starts when your card was issued.
