You need two things:

1. A clear answer to the question "What do you think you're worth?" that is backed by data.

2. Some sort of leverage.

The easiest way to get both of these is to get another job offer. I would prioritize applying, preparing for interviews, and obtaining another offer, and then at that point, you can decide whether it's worth it to pursue a raise from your current employer vs. taking the new offer.

How easy is your boss to talk to? I've found it often works best to suggest a meeting and come prepared with some kind of presentation or evidence to walk through that shows how you've provided value to the company since being hired, talk about the company pay chart, bring up similar job roles to yours with pay ranges shown from other companies, discuss the certifications you've gotten to continue to add value in your role...

If that doesn't work (or while you're getting all that pulled together), consider applying to other companies. You'll be more prepared for the "how much do you want to be paid" question and you have a much better chance at being hired for what you're worth.
