What's the best birth control for bloating/not gaining weight?

Question

These are my three options rn because I've tried everything else, including the last two options, and weight gain is honestly the only reason I'm not on birth control right now. I use nuvaring but haven't gotten back on it in a while because I'm not sure if it's making me gain weight or not.

Both the patch and what I have now which is paragaurd iud are great. I was generally like 120 in high school and I went on the patch right after, when I was 18 and a freshman in college and I've been about 100-105 for like 3 years now(I'm now 21). Sorry, I know neither are any of your options. I don't know really anything about those ones.
