Suggest Opinion On Exercise To Weight Loss

I am a 58 YO F, obese, working on weight loss and getting in better cardiovascular shape. I am a pediatrician. Recent echo showed mild pulmonary hypertension. I assume it is obesity related. Any restrictions on exercise, and any especially recommended exercises? I have been doing increasing time and resistance on an elliptical daily, and a weight circuit QOD, as well as intermittent aerobic, pilates, sculpting classes.
