Hi,
Don't worry. You might have been cured of pulmonary tuberculosis after completing ATT .
But chest X-ray may still have changes suggestive of old pulmonary TB. Healing usually ends up with some fibrosis and calcification which may persist.
If there is no active tuberculosis, then fitness should not be an issue.
Best wishes.
