If you want to speed up your metabolism you need to increase your lean body mass. In other words you want to get rid of body fat and replace it with muscle. Equal amounts of muscle and fat on the body burn different amounts of calories.

Muscle tissue is much more metabolically active than fat tissue is. That means that even if you aren't exercising, your muscles will still be burning calories while fat won't.

The answer to this question (how can I speed up my metabolism) is having a strength training routine that will build muscle combined with a cardiovascular workout that will burn fat.
