    Can you left weights? I'd start there.

    Any movement is better than no movement. Walking, swimming, or doing parts of YT videos could work.

    But you should be able to lose with just a caloric deficit. Exercise is for overall fitness and health.

    You'll lose fat just by losing weight, by eating at a calorie deficit. Exercise isn't necessary, really.

    You lose weight with a caloric deficit. If possible, lift, to retain muscle.
