Since you have GDM it is not advisable to walk in empty stomach for 45min. You can start breathing exercise but ensure which type of breathing exercise you are going to start. I would recommend you to do exercises with proper guidance.
Next Steps
You should consult a Physiotherapist online for complete exercise therapy.

Better consult in person with physio specialist in cardio vascular. You can start deep breathing exercises but always be carefull while breathing deeply as it may gives trouble initially  if not done earlier or never practiced it.
