If you do a compression test and it passes, it is most likely the valve seals.
If the compression test fails, it could be the rings OR the valves. The old fashioned way to check is to pour a couple mils of oil into the spark plug hole and recheck. If you regained compression then, yes it was the rings. If it is still the same, your rings are fine and your valves or valve seats are gone.
