Hello ,
Thank you for using healthcare magic .
I read your question and understood your concern .
I think you can loose weight with diet and instead of walking I suggest you to do stationary bike and swimming or other sport in sitting position and not stranding position like you are doing in walking. So, by avoiding weightbearing , your knees will heart less while you train.
See a dietician to change you diet.
