Leaning towards breaking up with GF (23) instead of marrying her when her visa expires but not sure how to break it to her

My (25M) gf 23F have been together for 5 years. She is in the country on a student visa from India that expires pretty closely after she graduates in December. Basically the easiest way for her to stay in the country is for her to get married. I do want to get married at some point in life but never envisioned it until around age 30. After some thought, I think I want to break up rather than get married now. I care about her a lot but Im not ready for marriage. I also have never been single as an adult and it sounds bad but Im in much better shape now than I was when we started dating and Im making great money so I think I'd do pretty well with dating.

I just feel some responsibility towards her since we've been together so long. She's been really pushing for marriage so she can stay but I just dont think its the right move for me. While I hate the idea of losing her from my life, realsitically I dont think there's a better option for me. In the meantime we live together so I dont really know what to do. I dont need her help to pay the rent but I dont know logistically what to do if we break up. Having her live here as a "Roommate" in a one bedroom apartment for the next two months sounds so messed up but also since coming to the conclusion that I want to break up, I feel like I cant just fake things with her, that feels more wrong. For example last night she was in the mood and really wanted to have sex but I made up an excuse because it felt wrong to have sex with her knowing Im planning on breaking up with her. Not sure what I should do here.

​

TLDR: Gf visa is expiring. Have to decide between marriage or breaking up and Im leaning breakup but not sure about the logistics of the situation
