Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
As long as you are not certain that you have experienced janabah, you are not required to perform the ghusl (ritual bath), and your fast is valid.
May you be successful in all good.
