How is maturation related to increase in body fat?

This increase is also a natural part of growth, as the body prepares for reproductive functions.

Does muscle turn to fat when there is loss of activity?

Muscle cannot turn into fat, because one tissue cannot evolve into another. What does happen is that a loss in activity results in the shrinking of muscle mass because of disuse. Also, fat levels may increase because a loss of activity may result in a surplus of calories, which can result in an increase in fat. So, after not working the body for a while, muscles may shrink and fat may increase and can result in looking less firm (loss of muscle) and more flabby (increase in fat).
