You won't be able to boost your metabolism until you start lifting. Resistance training is much more effective at burning calories than running is.
One of the main reasons people's metabolisms slow down when they get older is because they are less active and lose muscle mass. Gotta keep it up to keep the metabolism going.
So, you either need to cut back on the calories or find some desire to put on some muscle.
