Most MBA programs have their averages around ~4-5 years. While there are rare cases where they admit candidates with 2 years (at time of joining) experience, it's something to keep in mind.

Your profile is a good mix of what they seek for an MBA however, the years of work experience could be the shows stopper for most colleges. If you are willing to wait and get into top schools (which is possible with your profile), I would suggest you to try for deferred programs -
1. Harvard Business School 2+2
2. Chicago Booth Scholars Program
3. MIT Sloan MBA Early Admission Program
This will give you a good enough window to gain sufficient work experience and be relaxed of your MBA Admit. In case you need to have a detailed chat, please feel free to reach out to me.

Excellent GPA, great college, outstanding GMAT
CFA 1 adds to the credentials.
NGO work, and the related ECs can help you stand out in
Major cons:
Short on your Work Exp,
Missing link from Environmental Engineering to Steel Manufacturer to IB (though the leaning towards finance with the NGO may help demonstrate your interest)
While there are many deferred programs at top schools including at Yale SOM (I am an alum of Yale SOM, and loved their structure of Silver Scholar program), and you may have a string candidature with many of them, you will need to urgently take up the application prep.
That said, LBS may still not work for you.
Another option is to wait it out a few years, and apply for the FT MBA program by about 4-5 years of Work Exp at the time of application
Hope this helps..
