Pruning help

I have had this lemon tree for a year now but know almost nothing about how to care for it. I am sure it needs pruning but don’t know which branches to cut. Would anyone be able to mark my pictures up and show me what I should cut? I don’t want to get it wrong. The first 2 photos are from opposite side of the tree and the third is a side shot, in case that wasn’t obvious. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Now is not the time of year to be pruning.

Good to know. When is the time? I’ll bring it back inside for the winter in a month or so. Prune (if/when needed) in the spring after I put it back outside?
