Walking is very good for you. I can't see any reason not to do it if you are able!!

Sounds like you are doing so great! Congratulations on your losses!

Exercise is always a great idea. Some have the opinion that a short, high intensity workout is hugely effective for fat loss. But anything you can do consistently will be very beneficial to your overall health.
It may or may not create any further scale weight loss though

What they all said, just wanted to say WELL DONE! You are doing great!
You can also download one of the 5k apps, and do walking, walking fast etc instead of running/jogging, just to get some variance into the walking and to raise the heartbeat a little.

Great job! Congratulations on that great loss. I am one who definitely functions (and losses) better with at least a little movement each day. I can eat at a significant deficit and unless I'm getting a little exercise in, won't see the scale budge at all. Maybe it would over time but I'm just to impatient for that. Walking is a great exercise on keto!

Imagine this, in your hand you are holding 1lbs of muscle and 1 lbs of fat. The muscle looks like a raisin, the fat like a golfball. Just an illustration. Getting fitter is not all about losing weight. Exercise in the long run will loose you inches all over and make you feel great, even when the scale sticks. Personally I think exercise is well worth it. I have had weeks where I have lost no weight, yet my body has shrunk by several inches.

So what is key to losing more weight? It sounds like this exercise may stall my progress...

Do you want fat loss or weight loss?

Walking is excellent. I've taken 5 months off exercise while starting keto to see how my dystonia, a neurological movement disorder that is exacerbated with additional movement, reacted to a ketogenic diet.

During my 1 year weight loss phase I walked or did low impact aerobic or rode a stationary recumbent bike on average of 300 minutes a week. I never noticed any water retention or negative impact on the scale and I could be a bit of a warrior on that bike getting some sore thighs.

I'd just be sensible starting out. I ended up with a bone bruise on my left knee from pounding the pavement which is why I ended up getting the stationary recumbent. Walking will burn a few calories and it is great for your overall health, fitness and well being.

ETA: I'm back at it effective yesterday with the September Challenge and it feels great to move again.

Walking is good for many reasons, just start slow and build slow.

For at-home exercises, I enjoy Jessica Smith's videos. You can find her on YouTube with everything from light stretching to intense workouts. I bought her "6 week total transformation system" DVD set. It has six different workout sessions with a suggested rotation. These six workouts are all done with her not terribly fit Mom, her very fit friend and herself showing you the beginner, advanced and intermediate version of each move. Easy to follow and, thank goodness, no drill sergeant shouting.

Jessicasmithtv.com has her more recent video selections. I like her videos a lot and I'm probably old enough to be her grandmother.

The key is to not give up on yourself and the diet! Don't worry about day-to-day scale readings. Doing that will only frustrate you. I recommend only once or twice a week weigh-ins. Some weeks you will be down, some will be level, some will be up. But the downs will far outnumber the ups if you don't give up.

ETA - don't look for 4 pounds a week loss. If you are doing this correctly, the scale will slow down after the first few weeks. The first week is always huge because you lose a lot of water weight then too. You can shoot for 2 pounds a week, but if you are hitting 1 pound a week AVERAGE then you should be happy. You spent a lifetime putting on the weight, expect some time to take it off.
