I am looking to encrypt my Hard-Disk, but all the steps I found say that I have to re-install ubuntu and I do not want it. Can I do it not necessarily erasing all my data?

There are a few examples of sources that I found

Yes, you will need to erase your current disk contents to set up the LVM, required for the encryption of your operating system and user data.

Of course, before proceeding, you will make sure your backups of your personal data are up to date, so you can restore data to the newly installed system.
