How would I say "I am from [country] but I am currently living in [country]" ?
For example if I wanted to say "I'm from Malaysia, but I'm currently living in London", will it then be: "Je viens de Malaisie, mais dorénavant j'habite à Londre" ?
And how do I say "I have been living here/in London for 5 years now" ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi ! You can say : Je viens de Malaisie mais actuellement j'habite à Londres.
and for your other question : ça fait 5 ans que j'habite à Londres or j'habite à Londres depuis 5 ans.

Amelie's answer is fine, here are some other proposals
You can say for the first part of the sentence:
- Je suis originaire de Malaisie
And for "I have been living in London for 5 years" you can simply use "je vis"
- Je vis à Londres depuis 5 ans
