What would be better for an obese person who can't lose weight through diet and excise alone? CoolSculpting or liposuction?

I've read all about both and they both say that you should be near your ideal weight. Well what's the point then? Are there any fat removal surgeries out there for people with special circumstances such as mine? I'm a 28 year old female who has been dieting and exercising since I was 12. I gain a thousand times faster than I lose. The fat on my body won't leave. I want something that will remove that fat so I can continue busting my butt to maintain it
