It isn't rocket science - less calories consumed + more physical activity(on a regular basis)= weight loss.
Why do you need to walk at a pace that makes you out of breath? I`ve been on two long (for me anyway) walks this weekend, a total of almost 20 miles, a nice steady pace but wasn`t out of breath at all, surely I will still have burned away plenty of calories.
