Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
It is amazing about Islam. You are a muslim when you say that you are. There were people who only said the Shahada at the time of the Prophet just for political reasons. They were still considered muslims. Allah Knows Best but I for one believe that you are a muslim when you believe what you say. Take one step at a time. Don't let another day pass without declaring your faith if you truly believe it in your heart. Allah Will Help you the more you open your heart to Him.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
