There is no option to do a backup to iCloud over cellular data with an iPhone 7. With later models that support 5G cellular it is possible with some carriers. See the following from Back up iPhone - Apple Support


Note: On models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPhone using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.
