So I will lose my EU rights and therefore I will have to switch to Spouse visa.
So my question will I be eligible to apply for British citizenship after three years within the 5 year Spouse visa period or should I apply first for ILR and then wait for 3 years?
As a Family Member you must have held Permanent Residence status for minimum 12 months before you can apply for British Citizenship.

Be careful on any absences you may have had outside the UK. If this was for six months or more in any one of the last five years of the residence period, you
may have broken your residence. You'll need to check on that.
