Something is wonky with that measurement IMO as the way it reads you're not exerting enough... I think you'd want to be hitting 6km in like 17-18 minutes max?
You want to keep a 130ish heart rate up for 30 minutes minimum per session to see actual weight loss assuming nothing else in your life changes. That would be like walking on the treadmill at 3.2-3.5mph at an incline of about 7. I'm not sure about rowing.

I've been doing a speed walk type thing on the treadmill the last few years. 4.0 or 4.1 speed with an incline of 8.5 to 12.5 depending on how I'm feeling that day, minimum 30 minutes (2 miles) maximum 60 minutes (4 miles) again depending how much time I have. I don't have a heart rate monitor on but the hand grips on the treadmill, however accurate those are usually 145-155. I try and do this at least 4-5 times a week.
