90min/day is a lot
Ive started doing 6kmh walk for 30min after gym, two times a week and Ive lost like 10kg in 6 months

"Load carriage" is a thing the military has put some effort into studying. A 50lb pack turns a brisk walk into something that burns 100s of calories. Even an extra 20lbs on your back adds up. It might not feel like a lot, but the difference in heart rate for same perceived effort is shocking.
I can ruck a 20lb pack for 20 miles a day for weeks, but even that took a lot of training. Doing that with 50lb feels like it would be impossible. Maybe my 135# body has some limiting factor.
That being said, I love taking out a 50lb pack just to clear my head. It's like forced meditation.
It is kind of nothing if you live "the old school way", that amount of walking just accumulates. If you live "the post covid way" or "car with close parking lot way", then it becomes large block of time you have to carve separately.
Slow down a bit to 4-5km/h and you can last much longer, not to mention multitask more effectively (listen to an audiobook, be on a phone call, just brainstorm, etc.) so you don't actually need to set aside hours a day specifically for walking.
