In this work, we investigate the neutron star structure in conservative f(R, T) gravity with f(R, T)=R+λT, where λ denotes the matter--geometry coupling. The modified stellar structure equations are solved using realistic relativistic mean-field (RMF) equations of state (EOSs), including density-dependent linear models and nonlinear interacting models with meson self-couplings. Theoretical predictions are confronted with multimessenger constraints from heavy pulsars, NICER radius measurements, and GW170817 tidal deformability, imposing Mmax≃ 2.07 M\odot and 10.62~km
