If you've trusted in Jesus Christ for eternal life you can't lose your salvation for any reason . . . so, no. You can't go to hell for cheating on your boyfriend and lying a lot.

How do you repent for your sins?
To repent - metanoia in the Greek, simply means to have a change of mind.
https://biblehub.com/greek/3341.htm
But repenting is not the same as acknowledging your sins. 1 John 1:9 says only that the believer is to name or confess his sins to God when he commits them. And when he does, God forgives us the sin. Sin puts the believer out of fellowship with God but never endangers the believer's eternal salvation. When the sin is simply named the believer is restored to fellowship with God.

In time, as the believer grows spiritually he should see his sin pattern change so that some sins he may no longer habitually commit.

We don't really know the details of your situation, or of what caused you to commit this sin. But it is a good sign if you have a desire to repent.

The question is, how do you get to that next step?

Just say The Magic Words To Jesus and you'll be fine. You can cheat and lie til the cows come home.

Please follow Michael Way’s advice. It is spot on. I hope this will help.

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord” (Acts 3:19)

Some answers for your question are too easy to be true. But you have a difficult task ahead and you need some courage.
Before you pray to God, have some thoughts about the situation. Why did you cheat? Do you want your boyfriend still? . Make up your mind. And then go to your boyfriend, tell him the truth, what ever it is and ask him for forgiveness.
Sometimes the first step toward God is to turn around.
By the way, what would you do, if you won't go to hell for cheating? Going on like before? You are only good when forced to be? Then you aren't good. Besides praying of course: try to be a good person, thats helps a lot.

There is no hell but there will be consequences for your attitudes and behaviors. Ask yourself why you want a boyfriend if you are cheating on him? The whole point of such a relationship is the commitment to him. If you do not want that commitment why bother having a boyfriend? As for lying, ask yourself why you feel the need to lie. What about the truth do you fear telling?

You start by telling him the truth.

Repent means to have a complete 180 turn around with your attitude regarding that particular sin...
