Your SFV CFN account is tied to your Steam account, but the OFFLINE / singleplayer progress is saved locally only.

Fight money and DLC unlocks are stored on Capcoms servers, so these are not lost.
You will not get any fight money for previously completed tasks again.

If your savegame file was

• corrupted / game crashed exactly during saving
  
• or deleted during a Windows-reinstallation
  
• or overwritten by another player/Steam user, who used your personal, local Windows account

then your singleplayer progress is unrecoverable (unless you did Windows backups regulary of your AppData folder).

SFV savegames are usually located here:

%LocalAppData%\StreetFighterV\Saved\savegames

Shortcut: Windows button + R
+ paste the above line, this path is usually hidden/protected in Windows, you can enable "Show Hidden Folders" to unhide it.

GameProgressSave.sav is the file, which you want to keep for your singleplayer progress.

If you have multiple user/admin accounts on your PC, you should also check whether your savegame is saved in their account paths instead, this can happen, if you played as administrator on a normal user account.
C:\Users\_USERNAME_\AppData\Local\StreetFighterV\saved\savegames

AVOID using multiple Steam accounts on the same Windows account.

Create a different local Windows account for every different Steam account, switching been different Windows accounts takes only a few seconds and you basically no longer need to log out + login into your Steam client again.

There is a workaround to see your story progress by looking into the shop, story costumes are unlocked/purchaseable for each character, you have finished it with.

You can also track your survival mode progress by checking your unlocked colors for each different costume of each character.
