Are you sure you are getting 2000-2500 calories per day or is that a guess? I only say that because of you not knowing what macros were. I would guess you aren't counting calories or measuring and weighing food, so you could actually be eating more than you think. It doesn't take much to eat 2k cals in a day

I agree here
You won't have to burn the calories if you don't eat them in the first place.
Get your diet under control. Start reading labels and measuring portion sizes. Reduce (but don't cut out) starches. if you don't need the energy , then don't eat it. Eat some fruit or veggies instead of rice or pasta IE lower impact carbs.
Watch fat intake. It the most calorie dense foods of all. Skip fast food. It's all fried in crappy oil. if you're going to do fats , eat some avacado or salmon fillet (watch portion size )
