Where can I find a command-line version of GPG for Windows? It should be small size because Gpg4win Light is 15 MB.

You could download it and compile it yourself here: http://www.gnupg.org/download/index.en.html
The command line version is included in the GPG4Win, but the installer is actually quite helpful, and I would recommend that myself. (current gpg2.exe that is included is 769kb)
Also see the light version here: http://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.9.exe

I would argue that is "lightweight".
gpg2.exe
is indeed small, but when you run it, it requires external tools and libraries. After I have combined everything in a box, I got 12MB. More over when you rungpg2 --gen-key
it shows a GUI window to ask for password – that's too much for CLI utility.– dma_kNov 14, 2014 at 21:28 -

1I have managed to cut few DLLs and unused EXEs from gpg2 installation, which made it smaller. It's not a good idea to post a download link here, because this is critical software. But if somebody trusts – I can do it.– dma_kJan 9, 2015 at 11:24
You can download the latest windows CLI binaries from https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/
Look for gnupg-w32-2.x.xx_yyyymmdd.exe
e.g. gnupg-w32-2.2.29_20210704.exe
