You need to change that to running 4-6KM each day. Burning fat through cardio requires you to keep up your heartrate for a sustained amount of time and also burns fat better through interval training when you run (run at a regular pace and then sprint for 100 meters, run at regular pace gain, sprint up a hill, etc. you need variety in exertion). All these things will also keep your metabolism going as the increase in steady and sustained heartrate during cardio exercise (45 min to an hour) will do the same sort of thing as those thermogenic burners (you will feel hot as running is far, far less efficient than walking). It will also increase your metabolism to help burn fat while you are not exercising. Walking will help your heart and your health but won't do much for you if you want to lose weight.
