Morphology
The meaning 'containing more fat than is desirable or healthy' is directly and compositionally derived from 'too' (exceeding what is suitable) modifying 'fatty' (high in fat). This follows a common, cross-linguistic adjective + degree adverb pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Too fatty paints a simple food picture: fatty shows thick, white or oily fat and too means more than you want, like a slice of meat or pizza swimming in oil. So, it means 'containing more fat than is desirable or healthy'.
