Are you kidding?! 
First, you are so covered when it comes to health benefits. The amount of brisk walking you're describing is at least twice as much as the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports recommends to protect yourself against the health risks of obesity. They say:
"These levels of activity can easily be attained by following the current public health guidelines for physical activity, which recommend 30 minutes of moderate activity on most days of the week."
When it comes to losing weight, brisk walking is ideal for burning fat. The more you can safely fit into your life, the better. And as you go along, maybe you'll want to add weights or other types of activity ... the point is, you are doing great!
I can only dream of the day when I can say that I'm walking 5-8 miles daily ... 
With a low carb WOE in your life, you are heading for success!
