Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your current chest x-ray is suggestive of scarred lesion from previous tb infection. Any lung insult whether TB or pneumonia heal with treatment. Healing occurs in following ways. 1.  Fibrosis (most common). 2. Calcification 3. Rarely Complete resolution. So your current chest x-ray is showing, fibrotic lesions and these are nothing but old, healed, inactive, scar lesions. So no need to take anti-tubercular Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
