As we can see the current calorie intake for Bob a day between 3000 to 4200 calorie. (average 3500)

Calorie intake for a week 3500 * 7 = 24500

current Calorie expenditure through walk in a week is around 150.

Estimated weight reduction is 1 pound in a week = 3500 calories (500 calories per day)

Estimated calorie intake for Bob is approximately 3000 and expenditure 500 calories

Calorie expenditure through walk as recommende for lossing weight is 90 min = 500 calories

Modified plan

Calorie intake approximately 3000 per day & expenditure 500 calorie equvalent to 1 pound weight loss in a week.
