The game uses a point system to determine if you will succeed in redeeming Bastila based on the amount of points you earn throughout the conversations when you face Bastila on the Star Forge. Some dialogue options will earn you points to increase your chance in redeeming Bastila.
In general, to successfully convince Bastila to return to the light side, you need to choose dialogue options that say you believe that Bastila still has the light side in her, that she can be saved, tell her about the dangers of the dark side or remind her about the Jedi's teaching, and choose these options as much as possible.
In the final part of Bastila's dialogue, when Bastila says she is beyond saving, do not agree with her because it will make you kill her.
-There will be [Persuade] options in the final part of Bastila's dialogue. While it is possible to save Bastila without choosing the [Persuade] options as long as you choose the right dialogue options, if you invest skill points in Persuade and pass the Persuade check, it would also be easier to save Bastila. If you want to learn more about the Persuade mechanic in KotOR, you can check out this page.

An active romance with Bastila will make it easier to save Bastila. Although in vanilla KotOR, only a male player character can romance Bastila, this mechanic also works for a female PC who romances Bastila with mods like JC's Romance Enhancement: Biromantic Bastila. That said, it is still possible to redeem Bastila even if you do not romance her.
If you want to do a Light Side playthrough, this would be the best outcome. However, you need to pass a Hard difficulty Persuasion check to get this ending. If you want to learn more about the Persuade mechanic in KotOR, you can check out this page. Since you will likely be at level 10 when you do this quest, you need at least 10 points in your Persuade skill to have a decent chance to pass the check.

As for the dialogue choices, after Ahlan rants about him getting revenge, you need to choose "You two just need to calm down."
When Nurik calls Ahlan "Matale dog";, choose either "Both of you need to calm down." or "You should try to sort this out together."
Now you will be given [Persuade] options. When presented the option, choose "[Persuade] Shen is capable of making decisions on his own." After you pass a Hard difficulty Persuasion check, choose another Persuade option "[Persuade] Children grow up and leave eventually." when you are given the opportunity. If you have successfully passed the previous Persuade check, you should have no problem passing this check.
