This paper explores a light fermionic DM candidate within the scotogenic inverse seesaw model, which can simultaneously provide a mechanism for neutrino mass generation. By incorporating constraints from neutrino oscillation data, charged lepton flavor violating processes, invisible decays of the Higgs and $Z$ bosons, DM relic density, and direct detection of DM, we uncover a light fermionic DM window in the mass range $58\\,{\\rm GeV} \\lesssim m_{\\tt DM} \\lesssim 63\\,{\\rm GeV}$ that can satisfy all of the aforementioned constraints. We find that this window can be jointly tested by next-generation ton-scale DM direct detection experiments including PandaX-xT and XENONnT, Higgs invisible decays, and future lepton colliders such as ILC.</summary>\n    <category scheme='http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom' term='hep-ph'/>\n    <published>2026-03-24T10:27:10Z</published>\n    <arxiv:comment>27 pages, 3 tables and 11 figures</arxiv:comment>\n    <arxiv:primary_category term='hep-ph'/>\n    <author>\n      <name>Huan-Can Liang</name>\n    </author>\n    <author>\n      <name>Yi Liao</name>\n    </author>\n    <author>\n      <name>Xiao-Dong Ma</name>\n    </author>\n    <author>\n      <name>Mu-Yuan Song</name>\n    </author>\n    <author>\n      <name>Hao-Lin Wang</name>\n    </author>\n  </entry>"
