The least painful path is probably:
- Back up your data on another drive.
- Reinstall Mint with LUKS full-disk encryption enabled.
- Restore your home data.
Think also about system settings such global configurations, for example you may want to back up /etc as well as export lists of installed packages:
apt list --installed
flatpak list --app
# etc.
