    The issue is likely before that line of code. Can you edit your question to include all of the contract code, rather than just a screen shot?

Hard to be 100% sure without the code, but it's consistent with closing out the contract {} block with an extra } so that function is outside of it where it should not be. Out there, you're only allowed pragma, contract, library, etc. as enumerated in the message.

Look for an extra } after the function before the section shown.

Hope it helps.
