There can be a lot of reasons for breathlessness when walking, some related to weight/fitness level, others are indicators of specific health issues.

Have you been to a pulmonologist for a pulmonary function test to see how well your lungs are working?

Have you seen a cardiologist to see if the problem is with blood flow or heart function?
