Neither is correct as "my" is implied with the word home when one refers to one's own home e.g. I am at home I am at Syed's home/house

"I am at home" is correct. "Home" implies the place where the speaker lives. "I am in my house" is correct as well. "House" is a physical building/structure unlike a home, and can belong to anybody.

Actually speaking both the phrases - 'I am in my home' and 'I am at my home'. both are correct, butI am at home is more realistic. "Home" means own home and not other's home. Hence, no need to write "I am in my home", but it should be always used while speaking and writing that - "I am at home".
