Morphology
The noun phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: combining 'fat' (having excess body fat) with 'body' yields the literal meaning of a physique that is overweight. This is a directly compositional, cross-linguistically common pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.
Etymology
Fat body comes from the simple picture of a fat body, a person or animal who looks round and soft because they have extra flesh. That's why fat body means a physique that is 'noticeably overweight'.
