Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'fat' (the substance) with 'metabolism' (the bodily processes that convert substances), so the phrase simply denotes the metabolism of fats. This noun–noun compositional pattern is productive in English and mirrors constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Fat metabolism combines fat, meaning stored body fat, and metabolism, meaning the body's process of changing food and fats. Think of it like a kitchen that melts and 'breaks down' fat into small parts the body uses for 'energy', so the phrase means how the body turns fat into usable energy.
