I don't know if the illness specifically makes you lose weight, I doubt it. But during most illnesses you lose weight because your diet grows considerably smaller. You eat a lot less, so you consume far less calories than you normally would. The illness itself generally doesn't cause weight loss. There are some that do, however, but I don't think Tuberculosis is one of them.
