Not sure: Not sure if this is normal or not. It would have to be actually seen by a dentist.

Probably fat: The underside of the tongue is a place where fat can be seen through the thin covering mucosa. Colored coatings on the top of the tongue that are not from recent food are bacterial acumulations.
