New to cycling and I threw up.

Just as the title says, I'm new to cycling, and unfortunately, it led to me being sick in public. For a little information, I am not exactly the healthiest. I'm a woman in my early adult years, 90kg, and everyone I know has told me that cycling is a good way to get active. Usually, I just walk at least 20 minutes a day, so I want to get more active. I bought a Dimondback bike (cheep and second hand in very good condition), and thought it'd be a breeze. Yeah. I threw up after a 2km ride and had to do a 20-30 minute walk of shame home. Can I get a few pointers in the right direction for what to do next time? As to not throw up.

Edit: I often have a Vit D deficiency (every damn year), and for everyone saying to not give up I won't! I know giving up won't get me anywhere, I'm stubborn. I'll definitely be taking a slower pace, and getting a smart watch to pace myself.
