are you serious? that's not even 5km. it's not that hard to run that distance, on a bike it should be easy even for a beginner. unless there's some serious hill climbing there. or maybe there's something wrong with your bike? are you sure it's a good size for you?
also, to burn fat the best thing is consistently doing long rides in zone 2 (see pic related for reference) with high cadence. ideally something between 90-110rpm. but don't bother buying a rpm sensor unless you want to get serious. just spin fast enough to be a little uncomfortable.

3 miles is just barely 5 km, I think 1 km is about .62 km

Are your gears setup properly? If your gear is harder than necessary then it will be overly difficult to bike 3 miles. Try experimenting with lower gears.
