The current partitions are using entire disk. Your biggest partition is /dev/sda1, the Windows partition. If the partition is not filled with data, you can shrink that by 20-30GB to make room for the LL installation. Boot into Windows and defragment the drive (likely called "C: drive" in Windows) first. Then shrink the drive using Windows disk management tools if possible. Don't create any partitions in that resulting free space with Windows. After shrinking, reboot into Windows again to let it make any necessary adjustments to the new size.
I think your best bet after doing the above is to start the installer and choose the "Something else" option at the "Installation Type" screen. On following page, highlight the free space, click "Add" (or "+" sign) to make a new partition. The partition type can be "Primary"; choose Ext4 file system type; Mount Point = "/" (root); size = whatever size of free space is. You don't have to do anything about Swap -- the LL installation will use the same swap partition that you already have on the drive.
Near bottom of same partitioning window it will ask for "Device for bootloader installation"? It will be pre-filled with /dev/sda. Like I said before, if you want LL to control booting, then leave it as it is. If you want Lubuntu to remain in control then change that /dev/sda to the root partition that you just set up. In that case, you need to run sudo update-grub in Lubuntu to add the LL choice.
If at some point you decide to eliminate which ever Linux is in control of booting, you need to transfer control of booting to the other one before deleting anything. Otherwise you will lose ability to boot system if you delete controlling OS. Don't worry about that now -- just giving you a heads-up for later if the need arises.
