My best advice is to wait until you talk to your doctor. I would think that losing weight will help your hips. I know it helped mine. I did not have my hips xrayed, but they hurt me a great deal when I was right at 300 pounds. I walked at first but just in 10 minute increments because my knees and hips hurt when I walked. The doctor told me that if the pain went away when I stopped walking, I was not doing any damage. As time went by and I lost more weight, I increased my walking times.
You can lose weight without exercise. Cutting back on your calories is more important. Let us know what the doctor says.
