Formed regularly from the adjective 'slouchy' with the common adverbial suffix '-ily' (replacement of -y by -ily).
Etymology
Slouchily comes from the word slouch, which means to sit or stand with drooping, lazy shoulders, and the ending -ly means 'in a way'. So, to do something slouchily is to do it 'in a loose, careless, untidy way', like someone moving with heavy, drooping shoulders.
