Brief Answer:
See details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you may need to get tested first doing thyroid hormones balance T3, T4 TSH levels and also fasting glucose levels and HbA1c.
Sometimes low thyroid or diabetes may be the cause of slow metabolism.
Eating more proteins( turkey, fish ,eggs ,beans and nuts) in your diet, increasing water intake, using more spicy food, coffee and green tea may increase your metabolism.
Also sports, training and especially lifting weights may increase metabolism.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
