The most versatile cardio you can do is running. I feel like every human should learn how to do some long distance runs and since last year I've built up from nothing to sustaining a 5km run with a small 2min. break in the middle.
The basic idea behind starting a running program is to use intervals of walking and jogging. You can probably find a whole bunch of programs on the internet, but I started by walking for 1 minute, then jogging for 30 seconds, then walking for a minute, jogging for 30 secs, etc., and repeating this until I got a total of 15mins. Eventually I was jogging 1 minute on one minute off. You get the idea... slowly build up your jogging time and keep those minute breaks in there.
Now keep in mind that cardio is important, but I'd say that weight loss begins with resistance training. You'll get a lot more calorie burn out of a weights workout, so get that sorted out first, then add the cardio afterwords or on off days.
