The possessive must agree with the singular noun "momento"; use "meu" not "meus".
Tô curtindo meu momentos de paz.
Both the noun and the article need to stay singular because you refer to a single moment.
Estou curtindo meu momento de paz.
While grammatically correct, using "Estou" makes the sentence formal; the original phrase is meant to be informal.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "curtir" is a versatile verb used for everything from listening to music to enjoying a quiet moment.
