It's the same as if you didn't have those issues. You need to be in a calorie deficit, which means eating fewer calories than you burn. Eat less, move more, or do both. I suggest the latter. Sitting in place for 16 hours a day is absolutely terrible for your health. Your non-exercise calorie burn has got to be horribly low. Surely you can get up and move around more, either during the day or during off hours.

Speaking of too much sitting: Sitting Kills, Moving Heals: How Everyday Movement Will Prevent Pain, Illness, and Early Death -- and Exercise Alone Won't

...This groundbreaking new medical work demonstrates how modern sedentary lifestyles contribute to poor health, obesity, and diabetes, and how health can be dramatically improved by continuous, low-intensity, movement that challenges the force of gravity. Citing her original NASA research on how weightlessness weakens astronauts' muscles, bones, and overall health, the author presents a simple and effective plan for maintaining good health throughout life by developing new lifestyle habits of frequent gravity-challenging movement. Written for everyone who spends most of their lives sitting in chairs, at desks, and in cars, this practical, easy-to-follow action plan outlines simple gravity-challenging activities such as standing up frequently, stretching, walking, and dancing that are more healthful and effective than conventional diet and exercise regimens.

I think @Meeva87 has left MFP. h.
