Shall I tell him?

I have a boyfriend of a few months. I've fallen in love with him. Everything is so easy. He always say he loves this, he loves that, about me all the time. Tells me I'm amazing and so special. No red flags so far.
Yesterday he saved the day for me. I hugged him tight and said 'I love you forever' he sounded thrilled and picked me up! Said the same.
But now in messages today he's gone back to saying things like 'this is the reason why I like you so much.'
After yesterday I really wanted to tell him properly that I love him.. I felt confident.. say that I meant it yesterday, not just because of what he did. But I'm scared of telling him now. I just can't keep it in any longer! But I'm not sure now!
Shall I do it when I see him later? I felt like yesterday it was a light hearted comment and want him to know I'm serious!
Thank you!

Thank you all for the replies.
I'm not obsessing over it or insecure. I've never felt so secure and safe with anyone before. I just wanted to confirm to him in words how I feel, he's not love bombing me, and I don't find his words sickly - the opposite.
So, last night he said 'I adore you' and I said it back.
Yes it's early days, but this man treats me with a lot of respect and care.

Just enjoy it, there's no rush. It took my partner a year to say it. I knew he would eventually, because his actions showed that he felt it. Don't push for something that will happen in time. He sounds great!

Thank you @Northernmumoftwoboys that's lovely. This is how I think it will go, and I'm happy with that. X

What do you mean when you say he saved the day?

I am wondering that too. You have said it twice OP, what does it mean? Confused

To be fair I think telling somebody you’ve only known a few months that you’ll love them forever is a bit…..much?

I'd be running for the hills.
