But enough about me, how have you been?
How to translate "enough about me" in the above context?
genug über mich
or
genug von mir
?

4For the close voters, I consider this question on-topic. It's precise, short and potentially useful to others. "Translation requests to German should be of general interest and should provide sufficient context." – infinitezero Nov 3 '19 at 21:22

I'm afraid, that both proposal are bordering to a word-by-word translation, which don't equally well work in German.
I consider as typical translation:
Jetzt habe ich aber genug von mir erzählt, wie geht es Dir?
Without that additional context genug von mir could also mean, that it is now time to pass over to a different speaker, so genug über mich seems a better approach. The first match in Google Books seems to support this.

1As German native speaker, the phrase "Soweit zu mir,..." can also be used. – Mark Lösche Nov 4 '19 at 14:47

As a side note, "genug von mir" might come across more negatively than intended. It might be understood as a shorter form of "Du hast genug von mir", "You're fed up with me". So it might get a vibe of "enough about me already". – Henning Kockerbeck Nov 4 '19 at 15:33
