Qualifying for Naturalization

Hi I have always assumed I would not qualify for naturalization given my travel back and forth between my home country and Germany.

I got some hope after I saw a post on this subreddit stating I only need to have been in germany 50% of the time in the past 5 years to qualify. I am wondering if this is true in my case and would like to explain my situation to see if I qualify or not. Thanks for the help!

2019-2020: Germany (1 Year) 2020-2021: Home country (1 Year) 2021-2024: Germany (About 2.5 years) 2024-Now: Home country (1 Year)

I came to Germany initially on a highschool exchange. Came back and did a FSJ and then finished an Ausbildung (Finished in 2 years). After the ausbildung went back to home country and am now coming back next month to work in my trade until I start a Fachabi.

Thanks for the help again reddit friends!
