Walk
Walk is underrated. You can lose an extra 250 calories per hour with the help of brisk walk. Ideally walk at least for an hour though more is better. The more you walk, the more you lose and the healthier you get.

Exercise
Along with walk, do some exercises as well. If you have strong knees, you can do sets of 20’s in jumping jacks several times a day. You do not need to do heavy exercise but half an hour a day can keep that metabolism going all day. Try to do light exercises even at work and do not sit on your chair for more than half an hour at a time as it slows down your metabolism.
