Because $m > 1$ $2m + 1\ge 4$ So $2^{2m+1}$ is divisible by 16.
$2^{2m+1} $ is double of $(2^m)^2$ and is not a square.
Now we consider 2 cases
Let us consider when n is odd
Then $n= (2k+1)$
So $n^2 = (2k+1)^2 = 4k^2 + 4k + 1 = 4k(k+1)+1$
Ss k or k+1 is even we $n^2 \equiv 1 \pmod 8$
So $2^{2m+1}$ is divisible by 8 and minimum number above $n^2$ which is divisible by 8 is $n^2 + 7$
So we have proved for the case n is odd.
Let us consider when n is even
If $n^2$ is divisible by 8 then $n^2$ is divisible by 16 and as $2^{2m+1}$ is divisible by 16 and n^2 is divisible by 16
So $2^{2m+1}-n^2 = 16k$ for some positive k
So $2^{2m+1}-n^2 \ge16$
Hence $2^{2m+1}-n^2 \gt 7$ or $2^{2m+1} \gt n^2+ 7$
If $n^2$ is even and is not divisible by 8 then n is of the form 4k+2
$n^2= 16k^2 + 16k + 4$
Or $n^2 \equiv 4 \pmod {16}$
As $2^{2m+1} = 0 \pmod {16}$
So $2^{2m+1} \ge n^2 + 12 $
Hence $2^{2m+1} \gt n^2 + 7 $
we have proved for all 3 cases hence done
