However, I don't understand what "se" and "que" are doing here and what they mean in this context.
Does "Es que" mean "It's just"? Then what is "se" doing in this sentence?
I would have thought that "le" is the indirect object, not "se".

You are correct about 'le' being the indirect object pronoun. But the Spanish language doesn't allow '
le lo', so the '
le' is changed to '
se'.
'
Es que' literally translates as 'it is that', but the normal translation is "it's just that."
