In one sentence? The waveform's peak is clamped and the transformer's voltage is reset.

That covers the "clamp" and "reset", now we just need to add: "the transformer is non-gapped and only used in one directon, and there is a FET connected to one of the transformers outputs used in place of an auxiliary winding for the core reset". This covers the "forward" and the "active" parts
