If she's been with a male within a year, then yes she is. She looks like she has a week left to me. Is that a goldfish? What size tank is it? Where are you separating her?

Right now I have put all my fishes in a big bowl. I am thinking to separate her to a small bowl and after her delivery leaving back her to the big bowl to protect the fries

Wait this is all one bowl? Your way overstocked, I seriously don't suggest trying to get fry when, honestly, all of your fish need a bigger tank or be rehomed. Mollies need a 29+, fancy goldfish need a 29+(not with any of the fish you have, they pretty much need a species only tank and they are cold water). It looks like you have an angel fish, I believe they need a 20 or 29g. Do you have a filter and heater?
Edit: the new photo looks like she'll drop in a few days

As I am a beginner your suggestions will really help me. Thank you. Well according to you my white molly needs one more week right? So I shall separate her after like 3-4 days? What will be the sign when shes is almost near to the delivery time?

No problem, I think she's closer than a week now(I saw the other photo you posted), I'd give her two-three days. Again, I don't suggest trying to save them as your ammonia will go up even more. Mollies are poop machines, and the babies are worse.

Do you know the nitrogen cycle? It's all in there-

Do you have a filter? Basically you have fish, each produce waste right? Well just like us, they release ammonia. To much ammonia can kill your fish, cause burns, tons of bad things. Each fish as there own bioload, or how much ammonia they produce. You also has messy eaters. Gold fish have large bioload and are messy eaters, mollies have large bioload as well. So if you have 50-100 babies the ammonia is going to sky rocket.

Yes I do have a filter. I will separate the female molly back and will keep all the fries in a separate tank. Then it would be fine right?

Sorry, for some reason I thought you where separating in the bowl. Well if you do that, then you'll have another problem. All the fry in that bowl will have a lot of ammonia and make a toxic environment for them. I suggest making a thread in the stocking section though. It's good you have a filter, it'll keep some beneficial bacteria.
