It's not just exercise that is needed. Get away from the standard of eating three times a day. It has been recommended to eat 5-6 smaller meals that are higher in protein, but still manage to have a balanced amount of carbohydrates and good fats. In keeping you body in a constant state of burning calories over an extended period of time, you help bring the metabolism to a higher level.
Pair that with a good cardio exercise such as hill walking and you will be off to a good start.

Building muscle mass effectively increases body metabolism. Walking has a good effect, though slow, because you are using your legs and glutes, which are some of the largest muscles in your body. Lifting small weights regularly will also help to tone muscles in your arms. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism. Best of luck.

any quick bursts of energy to get you slightly out of breath such as jumping,skipping taking the stairs two at a time will raise your metabolism,also doing weights because they strengthen the muscles and speed up the metabolism

Walking; simple as that. It's low impact and all you need is a good pair of comfortable walking shoes.
