Answer: It is very good that you have come to the conclusion that you need to be honest and open to your future husband. This is a very wise decision because if he finds out the truth after the marriage, even if he accepts it, most probably and especially when the heat of new marriage has cooled down and the reality starts to hit, he might think that he was cheated. In other words for the rest of his life he will think that you somehow deceived him. So yes, definitely letting him know just now is the best choice. It is also his right to know this before marriage.
As for how to say it, well, it depends on the cultural background and the personal circumstances and I am sure you appreciate that I cannot give you any prescription and specifications while I am not and cannot be aware of any of these.
However it makes sense to say that a word that comes from heart, settles on heart. It seems to me that if you talk to him with all honesty making it clear that why you need him to know this at this stage rather than later, and if you make it clear for him that you are sorry about what had happened and that it was a mistake and you have repented from that mistake, then by the will of God he will see this with a positive view. I don't think expressing your concerns about whether being virgin is important or not will help here. You need to understand that for him; not being a virgin might be an indication of some moral deficiencies. You need to assure him that this is not the case and that this was a mistake that happened when you were not mature enough.
