Read the good character guidance for nationality.
Time outside the UK is not calculated per calendar year, but per rolling year.
As you are not married to a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation when you meet the time requirements for naturalisation;

Long absences from the UK, with only short returns to the UK in between, can lead to a cancellation of the ILR. An absence of more than two years from the UK leads to an automatic lapse of the ILR.
As you are not married to a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation when you meet the time requirements for naturalisation;
a) at least one year of holding ILR status,
b) meeting the absence requirements over five (450 days) and one (90) years,
c) being physically present in the UK at the start of the five year period and
d) not having been illegally resident in the UK at any time in the past ten years.
You would also need to meet the other naturalisation requirements such as having completed the LITUK and English tests, etc.
The online application will/should tell you what is required.
