FortForge can be used to do what you wish. Read its documentation, mainly this page:
https://fontforge.org/docs/ui/dialogs/Styles.html

Process should go something like this:
File—Open (your font);
ctrl-a (to select all glyphs);
Element—Style—Change Weight;
Then modify "Embolden By" value;
It'd be best to also change font's name, so it's not clashing with default Bookerly:
Element—Font
Only thing that needs changing is in PS Names tab. Adding something like v2 at the end of the first three entries should be enough.
Documentation for that:
https://fontforge.org/docs/ui/dialogs/fontinfo.html
After it's processed, you will then need to export the font:
File—Generate Fonts (select true type or open type,name file as v2 or similar)
