This reddit posts suggest that Geralt's age is about 100 years.
The age of Vasemir must be at least 150+ (considering above info) because in the first episode of Hexer, Vasemir is shown old(must be 50+), and Geralt seems to be around 13 years.
Now considering timeline of Witcher 3, Geralt seems old, so Vasemir's age must be around 50 years more than Witcher.
The reason for considering vasemir's age is that they are mutants and their ageing rate may be changed, increased or decreased. I can't say anything about that.
However in Witcher 3 Vasemir dies at about 150 years of age.
So, the maximum age is about 150 (it can be still more if Geralt crosses 150).
Considering Leo's case (minimum), he seems to be at about 20 years old at the time of his death.
So my question is: What is average lifespan of a witcher?
Also, please give a good source from where the answer is researched and found out.

No Witcher has ever died of old age in the books or in the games. So it is almost impossible to ascertain when a Witcher will die.
Sorceresses can live forever because there is a potion that they can drink that is made by Ortolan that stops the aging process.
You won't find any documentation on the lifespans of Witchers or Sorceresses in the books, so I think this is the best answer I can give.

Gedymdeith was a sorcerer, was probably using Ortolan's stuff, but died from stroke so definitely did not live forever.

When Geralt wants to 'Retire' with Yen, they jokingly say that he's gonna be the first witcher to die in his bed. Witchers don't have a defined life expentency because they pretty much always will die in combat before other illnesses can take them (if they could.)
