It sounds like you may be seeing yourself through your own insecurities and/or dismorphia. He is seeing you through love. You don't have to believe you are beautiful to accept that he believes it. (Your own belief will hopefully come with time.)
We all get to have our own opinions on what is beautiful, right? If he told you he thinks green is the best color, you wouldn't question that even if you disagreed.
I hope that helps.
(And I hope he helps, too.)
I second this, and I'm sending hugs your way. I have insecurities about the way I look, too. Maybe not for the same reasons, but yeah, I know how hard it is to see yourself the way others see you, especially if it's positive. I just take it one step at a time. I know you can't transition, yet, but I'm sure if you look around the internetz there are some things you can do to help your self image until you can. It takes work, and it's an everyday struggle, but you'll get through it.
