Using Hölder's inequality, we have for $x>1$, \begin{align} |V(f)(x)|&\leqslant \lVert f\rVert_{L^p}\left(\int_x^{10 x}t^{-\frac p{4(p-1)}}dt\right)^{\frac{p-1}p}\frac 1x\\ &=\lVert f\rVert_{L^p}A_p\left(x^{-\frac p{4(p-1)}+1}\right)^{\frac{p-1}p}\frac 1x\\ &=A_p\lVert f\rVert_{L^p}x^{\frac{p-1}p-\frac 14}\frac 1x\\ &=A_p\lVert f\rVert_{L^p}x^{-\frac 1p-\frac 14}. \end{align} To conclude, we have to check that $\int_1^{+\infty}x^{-\frac 2p-\frac 12}dx$ is convergent. As $p<4$, it's the case.
