Does he love me? Or am I just a rebound?

Back in November, I (19F) became friends with a guy (‘A’ 19M) and I started falling for him hard and fast in December.
He just came out of a 4y relationship in September (from the ages of 14-18) so I didn’t think we would go anywhere.
However he was flirting with me through the whole of Dec and in Jan he finally made a move, which let me know he was at the very least attracted to me.
Due to his previous relationship however, I didn’t think it would go any further and it would just be casual. I was falling in love with him and even lost my virginity to him, but I kept my feelings to myself.
On Valentine’s Day he actually told me he was falling in love with me too and asked me to be his girlfriend - I was thrilled but asked him if he was sure he was ready and that I didn’t want to rush him into anything - he assured me he was ready

Sorry that took some time, but I felt it was important to add all the context.
There are some things that make me question where his head is at:
1. He is an awful texter. With previous relationships I felt as though I was messaging them all the time, however with A we’ll drop messages throughout the day and the odd time a conversation, but he’s typically playing games while at home and takes time to respond to most messages.
2. This relationship seems different than prior ones I’ve had - I don’t think his parents know much about me. I think they know my name and that we’re seeing eachother, but not that we’re together. And I think only one of his friends knows we’re together.
3. He’s not particularly affectionate. doesn't really hold my hand in public, kisses me only in private (not even a peck). He will touch me romantically in public (ie. hand on waist)
4. I just have a gut feeling that I’m going to get heartbroken. It’s very difficult to explain

I’m an awful overthinker and overanalyser and could be reading into things too much. Any thoughts would be amazing. (Out of words but happy to answer any further questions through comments)
