I am about to apply for my citizenship towards the end of June under the long residency and 1 year ILR.
I am very nervous as between 2016 and 2019 I worked over 20hrs a week while I was on a student visa but it didn't affect my ILR application, could it affect my citizenship application?
Also do i have to wait until the end of June (to make it 1 year holding an ILR) to make my application?
Also please does anyone have any general advice when making the application. Must I use a lawyer?

Yes.
No need. Go through it and ask stuff in this topic if unclear.

How long did this violation last? if you worked a full time job while on that restriction it is very different than accidentally exceeding the limit once or twice. If it is the latter, unlikely to cause any issues.

Basically it was over a period of 4 years while I was studying and It was with an agency so I had 0 hours contract but I did occasionally exceed the 20hrs limit

If it was only occasional, as I said below, I would say no need to worry.

Alright thanks
I'll wait till due date.
I'm just worries that since I worked over 20 hrs a week multiple times between 2016 and 2019 it could affect the application. Could this lead to rejection?
Also I have 2 references both are my friends, they're both professionals though. Should I just address them as friends or professional mentor in the application

This is nothing to fret about.

One as professional with their title or role, one as friend
