Islam is about correct beliefs and practice. If you already
believe in the Oneness of Allah, the greatness of all Prophets and that Prophet Muhammad is the final prophet, you are already a Muslim.
However, the month of Ramadhaan is close by and that should give you an ideal opportunity to start practicing on Islam. You should contact the local Muslim organization in your area and request to officially pronounce your Islam. If you have any difficulty, feel free to contact me and I will assist you.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
