SEM modeling by using Lavaan

Can anybody here suggest me whether I can use the model (SEM in Lavaan) in my article based on the results presented below. I am aware of the comparatively higher RMSEA and lower CFI & TLI values. Thanks.

summary(mod.est, fit.measures = TRUE)
lavaan 0.6-9 ended normally after 319 iterations

Estimator ML
Optimization method NLMINB
Number of model parameters 52

Number of observations 56

Model Test User Model:

Test statistic 688.049
Degrees of freedom 273
P-value (Chi-square) 0.000

Model Test Baseline Model:

Test statistic 1739.061
Degrees of freedom 300
P-value 0.000

User Model versus Baseline Model:

Comparative Fit Index (CFI) 0.712
Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) 0.683

Loglikelihood and Information Criteria:

Loglikelihood user model (H0) 1813.539
Loglikelihood unrestricted model (H1) 2157.563

Akaike (AIC) -3523.077

Sample-size adjusted Bayesian (BIC) -3581.193

Root Mean Square Error of Approximation:

RMSEA 0.165
90 Percent confidence interval - lower 0.149
