To compute the energy of the signal x from its frequency spectrum X, you can use the Parseval's theorem which states that the energy of a signal in the time domain is equal to the energy of its frequency spectrum.
To implement this in Matlab, you first need to compute the power spectrum of the signal x using abs(X).^2, take the sum of all the power values, and then multiply it by the frequency resolution (which is Fs/N, where Fs is the sampling frequency and N is the length of the signal).
Here's the code snippet for computing the energy:

The variable energy will contain the energy of the signal x.
