Hello there.

Thanks for writing.

Yes your test shows you are pregnant.

The lighter line indicates that your test is weakly positive. This can be due to low sensitivity of the test kit or it was a bit early for you to do the test. If you have missed your period already then it makes it further clear that you are pregnant.

You can repeat the test in 2-3 days to be absolutely sure.

In case you have further queries , do write back.
Take care.
