Yes, you can. This follows from the see-saw principle for instance. You can also argue directly as follows. The spaces of global sections H0(Y,f∗L) and H0(X,L) are naturally isomorphic. Since f∗L is a trivial line bundle we can choose a global nowhere vanishing section e of f∗L. Let sinH0(X,L) be the section of L corresponding to e under the above isomorphism. To show that L is trivial it suffices to check that s does not vanish anywhere. But if xinX is a closed point where s vanishes, then if we restrict s to the fiber Xf(x), we will get a section of the structure sheaf of integral projective variety which vanishes at a point. Thus the restriction of s to Xf(x) must be identically zero. This shows that e vanishes at f(x) which is a contradiction.
