Regression testing includes the testing of bug resolved by developer with the impact analysis, if any other features get disturbed while fixing the bug is also to be tested,
 
Retest u only test ur bug whether its fixed or not by developer.

Regression Testing means to test the entire application to ensure that the fixing of bug will be not  affecting anywhere  in the application

Retesting means executing the same test case after fixing bug to ensure the bug fixing
This example will clear more:

suppose there are three module : one and two had  no bug but in third had bug.then we send this to dev. to fixing the bug.
so in Retesting , we test the fixing bug individual. where
 Regression testing, we test the entire module ,to check whether any affect to other module after fixing the bug or not.

Regression : After the Bug fixed ,testing the application whether the fixed bug is affecting remaining functionality of the application or not.Majorly in regression testing Bug fixed module and it's connected modules are checked for thier integrity after bug fixation.

Retest: confirmation tetsing whether the bug is fixed or not.

regression testing : if any change is made in the code we test the code to see if new change has affected any part of  software
 
retesting : if while testing we used 10 testcases out of which 4 found defects.then the defects weree fixed by developers and again given for testing. testing of these fixed part is retesting
