Being out of shape tends to cause a high normal resting heart rate, which you have. Lesser levels of physical exertion also raise the heart rate disproportionately. I think you should talk to your family doctor and establish a diet and exercise program. It will take time to safely lose the amount of weight that you need to lose, but do not get discouraged. Feel free to write back with further questions.
