half-witted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stupid' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stopped keeping healthy to embrace women?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'women?' could be 'w' and 'w' is found within the answer.
'healthy' could be 'fit' ('fit' can be a synonym of 'healthy') and 'fit' is found within the leftover letters.
'stopped' could be 'halted' (halting is a kind of stopping) and 'halted' is found in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' acts as a link.
