Which are correct:

1-Right now, I like sitting where I am, doing nothing.

2-Right now, I like to sit where I am and do nothing.

3-I am sitting where I am and I am not doing anything and I like it.


Gratefully,
Navi.
 
With 'right now', #1 is more likely than #3 in most contexts. #3 is possible, but I don't think you are likely to hear it very often.
 
Thank you very much 5jj.

I suppose #2 is possible too.

Now if the sentences did not have "right now", the implication would be that I always like to sit where I am and do nothing, correct?

a-I like sitting where I am, doing nothing.


b-I like to sit where I am and do nothing.



c-I like sitting here, doing nothing.

d-I like to sit here and do nothing.


Gratefully,
Navi.

No. It depends on context.
 
#2 doesn't work very well in BrE, but it may be OK in other variants- I'll let speakers comment on that. However, with right now, I would be more likely to use I am enjoying.
