The difference isnt in how much weight you have to lose. Its how much work you think you can do and keep up. The band (my estimation) is a 50/50 game. It does half the work and you must do the other. It has the lowest risk of the weight loss surgeries. The sleeve is cutting your stomach from a bag to a tube and throwing the bag part in the trash. You WILL lose weight because you dont have a stomach and you wont have to work as hard on limiting the things you eat and exercise etc. The gastric bypass reroutes your anatomy so you cant eat as much AND you cant absorb some of what you eat.

If you have never lost a significant amount of weight or kept weight off for any length of time at all you made need option 2 or 3. But if you have some will power and have had some success with self discipline, the band should work for you. Your face looks young so I hope the band might work for you before going to more risky/invasive/permanent type procedures but hey, whatever works! Good luck. You should get lots of good answers and support here!
