Protein intake is also important (1g per lb of body weight per day is suggested. That’s hard for me so I do more like 0.8g). But make sure you consume healthy sources of protein so you don’t get high cholesterol
If you have weight to lose, it can also seriously help show results (but don’t develop an eating disorder, it can be a slippery slope)
You will certainly see results with that intensity. I recommend cardio of whatever you enjoy (biking, running, hiking, swimming, etc.) at least once per week to make your fitness well-rounded
For now just push through it and reassess once your body adapts to the activity, which for cardio can take months because most people’s microvasculatures adapt slowly. You’ll likely have a different opinion on how unpleasant it is when you can jog for 15 minutes without stopping at a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation without losing your breath.
Do a HIIT workout and be done with it in 10 minutes. You’ll be exhausted but it’ll be over quickly. Cardio is the boring part but it’s really important. Or you could do the opposite and go for a brisk walk for a longer time.

I thought it was 1 gram protein to 1 kilogram bodyweight

I think that’s true if you’re sedentary
