For the good character requirement, the Home Office will look at the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application. There should have been no overstay in the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application.
After your student visa expired in 2011, when did you leave the UK (i.e. when did your overstay in the UK end)? You should be able to apply for naturalisation on or after the 10th anniversary of that date.
