I believe the answer is:

attitude

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

'pose' is the definition.
(I know that attitude is a type of pose)

'uncover fatty bits with topless risque' is the wordplay.
'uncover' indicates the central letters (I've seen 'uncovered' mean this).
'bits with' becomes 'it' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'topless' means to remove the first letter.
'risque' becomes 'rude'.
The middle of 'fatty' is 'att'.
'rude' with its initial letter removed is 'ude'.
'att'+'it'+'ude'='ATTITUDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attitude that I've seen before include "One's position on a matter" , "Studied posture or opinion" , "Way of thinking or behaving" , "Settled way of thinking/feeling" , "Position, stance on matter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
