You would be a nonresident alien if I understand your visa information correctly. The spacing did not show up correctly.

 

If your F-1 Visa began in 2016, you would be an exempt individual for five calendar years. Parts of a year count as a year.

Therefore, if you were "exempt" for any part of one calendar year, that year is calculated as a whole year. Your exempt years will be 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. You would not be able use years prior to 2016 because you were not on an F-1 visa before 2016.
