What does lebihan mean here?

Lebihan comes from lebih, which means more or extra. With -an, it becomes a noun meaning excess, surplus, or leftovers/remainder.

So lebihan makanan means something like food surplus, extra food, or leftover food, depending on context.

Why is it lebihan makanan and not makanan lebihan?

Lebihan makanan literally means an excess of food or food leftovers/surplus. The main idea is lebihan (excess/remainder), and makanan tells you what that excess is.
