Up to you really. You could do both. In your situation, you're mostly concerned about weight loss, so low intensity cardio is certainly an option since it's basically just a calorie burn.
You can easily burn more calories doing HIIT for 10 minutes though vs 30 minutes walking. You could give it a try and see how you feel. The first time you do it, it will probably destroy you though lmao, so make sure you rest for 3-4 days before attempting it again and switch back to low intensity for those in between days. Eventually once you get used to it you can do it every second day.
