How to use callouts behind the text?

This is possible with tikz, but the callouts are all symmetrical and do not look like the one you are showing as an example. Asymmetric cloud shape in TikZ — AndréC, Jul 04 '20 at 09:05
Not exactly the design that you have asked for but maybe the todonotes package would be suitable for this purpose? — Marijn, Jul 04 '20 at 15:45

Adapting this MWE (adapted from this Simple speech bubbles, arrows or balloon like shapes in beamer) and using the math enviroment \ensuremath

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,shapes.callouts}
\newcommand{\clouds}[2]{
        \tikz[remember picture,baseline]{\node[anchor=base,inner sep=0,outer sep=0]%
        (#1) {{\ensuremath{#1}}};\node[overlay,cloud callout,callout relative pointer={(-0.7cm,-0.2cm)},%
        aspect=2.5,draw=green] at ($(#1.south)+(4.2cm,1cm)$) {\ensuremath{#2}};}%
    }%
\begin{document}
\clouds{y'+xy=0}{\text{Being } \dfrac{y'}y=-x}
\end{document}

you can recreate your picture with the commands of LaTeX. To fixed the cloud you should to see the coordinates ($(#1.south)+(4.2cm,1cm)$) and callout relative pointer={(-0.7cm,-0.2cm)} for the correct positioning that it is depends from the type of equation or list of equations.
