Hello, and welcome to the forum. I echo what SMR stated.
I would first suggest if you can do a search of your family background. If you can find an unbroken maternal link to Jewish ancestor, then you would have the proof that you are Jewish. It would not matter if you were raised Jewish or not, others are also in the same position. What matters is what you would do going forward.
If you do not have the maternal descent, or have no proof of it, conversion would be an option. It would be something to research carefully and see if it would be something you would like to pursue.
Or you could stay as a Noahide. You could still attend shul and other things but of course it would limit your participation in the Jewish community.
Three very different options. I would again start with a genealogy study of your family and see where that leads.
