Force non-www and https via htaccess

I'm trying to force a user to be redirected to the non-www website, and, force https.

I've got this which sort of work, but doesn't force https, when http is entered. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://site.com\.net/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

With this code I rediret from http and www and none www to https none www. Just pay attenstion that the place you insert the code in htaccess is important:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

The only set of rules that works for me is the following

# match any URL with www and rewrite it to https without the www
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.*) [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# match non https and redirect to https
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

The order matters, it prevents a third redirect in some cases.

Based on Gumbo's comment : "the TLS/SSL connection is established and certificate is validated before it is handed down to HTTP and the HTTP redirection takes place" I gave this a try (which seems to work):

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.blahblah.com/$1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.blahblah\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://blahblah.com/$1 [L,R=301]

please tell me if there is something wrong with this approach.

Try this rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.+) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
