Was there any serious dietary changes that went along with this slowing of your metabolism? You may actually not be eating enough and that could be causing your slow metabolism, it's hard to say.
If you eat before bed at the moment, don't. Your body pretty much turns that directly into fat as, obviously, when sleeping, you burn very few calories.
As far as cardio then I would have to say jumping jacks lol, lots of them. Same idea as with the push-ups, as many as you can in a row, lots of sets.
Try throwing in extra walking distance any where you can, do a few laps around the school at lunch, it's little stuff like that that will add up over time and help, it all helps to be honest.
One supplement that just popped into my mind is fish oil, it's dirt cheap and helps your body metabolise fat as well as providing some essential nutrients. It can be found almost anywhere, drug stores, grocery stores etc.
