but your particular access to configure nginx does not appear to allow
you do that.

The right answer is for you to change your access to configure nginx;
but that is unlikely to happen in the short term.

You can use an alternative config, along the lines of:

 listen on http and https; if the request was http, redirect to https;
  else process requests normally

That will probably fit your restricted configuration model.

Add a stanza at server{} level, outside all location{}s

  if ($scheme = "http") {
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
  }

and reload, and see if that does what you want.

You may want to replace $server_name with $host or your preferred host
name directly, depending on what exactly you want.

But it should get over the infinite loop of your original config.
