The only way to truly figure this out is to practice and then find out what you're worth in the market.

You might be better than you think. I remember by the time I got done leetcoding for my last job hunt, I felt maybe 50/50. I genuinely wasn't sure if I would get a good offer. I ended up getting more than fifteen (overkill, I know).
An important insight I had at the end: as you progress with more and more LC problems, you end up scraping the bottom of a barrel. Most of those questions that end up stumping you probably won't be asked, and if they are, you'll actually have an interviewer to talk through them with. In real life you aren't just in a room with a computer by yourself.
You won't really know until you get out there and start trying interviews. The more you interview, the better you'll get. You can do this. You've gotta stop the "loser" framing though. I see nothing in your post indicating you're a loser. You seem crucial to your current company.
