ANSWER: Hi,
Without knowing more about you, it's not possible to offer specific suggestions.  The best way to lose weight is a combination of two things: consume less calories and become more physically active.  By eating a little bit less and/or eating healthier food and burning calories with exercise and physical activity, you will eventually lose excess weight.
Hope this helps.

Answer
Start at a pace that you can walk for 10-15 minutes a day.  Each week increase the amount of time by 2 - 5 minutes.  When you're able to complete about 45 minutes of continuous walking, try to increase the speed in which you walk, but very gradually.  You may not walk as long of a time, but that's okay if you're walking a bit faster.
Hope this helps.
