Welcome!
You might want to take it easy with the workouts for a few weeks until you're adapted. Then, instead of lots of cardio which isn't really conducive to weight loss, try a strength plan--lifting if you have access to a gym or bodyweight strength training if you don't. Building muscle will help you increase your metabolism, as well as the more obvious benefit of helping to lower BF% and enabling you to do more things you want to do.
Mark's Daily Apple has a great basic plan that has you strength training twice a week (for less than 30 minutes), lots of moderate movement (3–5 hours a week) like walking, golfing, yard work, and then adding sprint sessions when you're ready: Primal Workout There's a link in that page to his Primal Blueprint Fitness ebook that's broken, but if you sign up for his newsletter you can it get for free.
