I am new to Lazarus and I am trying to create a new application with a
new component.
I write the code, with the settings in the attached image and after
compiling it I rebuild Lazarus and run the application in debug.
I can put breakpoints in the application code but not in the component
code. Why?

Packages have their own settings for debug info.

You can

A) Open each package (like LCL) and enable debug info in each packages
option

B) Menu: Tools > Configure Build Lazarus
Add "custom option" -gw3
This will affect most packages (like LCL, LCLBase)

C) Project Options -> Additions and overrides
Add new override for all targets: *
Then add custom option -gw3


In each case, that will NOT include RTL and FCL.
For those a custom FPC build in required.
