It seems to have a lot of meanings and I just don't understand how to use it or when.

tocante

Del ant. part. act. de tocar1.

  1. adj. Que toca.

en lo tocante a, o tocante a

  1. locs. prepos. Respecto a, referente a.

Literally that which is touching, I am not personally aware of "lo tocante" meaning anything beyond:

regarding, in reference to, with regard to, concerning, as to, with reference to or whatever other way we can communicate the same idea in English.

(As to) That which touches on the matter. That which has a bearing on the matter.
