I think the problem might be in your 'program' section of launch.json. Try it like this:

{
    // Name of configuration; appears in the launch configuration drop down menu.
    "name": "Launch",
    // Type of configuration.
    "type": "node",
    "request": "launch",
    // Workspace relative or absolute path to the program.
    "program": "${workspaceRoot}/app.ts",
    // Automatically stop program after launch.
    "stopOnEntry": false,
    // Command line arguments passed to the program.
    "args": [],
    // Workspace relative or absolute path to the working directory of the program being debugged. Default is the current workspace.
    "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
    // Workspace relative or absolute path to the runtime executable to be used. Default is the runtime executable on the PATH.
    "runtimeExecutable": null,
    // Optional arguments passed to the runtime executable.
    "runtimeArgs": ["--nolazy"],
    // Environment variables passed to the program.
    "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development"
    },
    // Use JavaScript source maps (if they exist).
    "sourceMaps": true,
    // If JavaScript source maps are enabled, the generated code is expected in this directory.
    "outDir": "${workspaceRoot}"
}
