Misclassified as non-exempt employee and I should have been exempt

Hi, HR recently contacted because I was misclassified as a non-exempt employee but was hired under the assumption I’m exempt because I’m paid a salary. This was also in my contract. I’ve never filled in a time card, logged lunches, OT, etc. HR wants me to come back to them with a number of hours of OT that I think I’ve worked. I’ve been at the company for 2.5 years. I feel like on average I work 7hrs (prob higher) of OT a week. My question is, can they come back and deny this number or how can I/they prove it’s wrong/right? I can look at invites, repeating meetings, etc but not sure what they might come back to me with if it’s denied or needs to be reviewed. Any advice is appreciative.
