My current bmi is 25.5. am i at risk of tuberculosis if i come in contact?

We all are: We all are at risk of tuberculosis infection if we come in contact with airborne tuberculosis germs. That's why all persons with TB should be quarantined until adequate treatment has rendered them not contagious. That's why people wear "N95" face masks around people suspected of having TB. One's BMI does not make a difference here.
