Brief Answer:
Get a CT chest done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX,
You have not mentioned if you suffer from any chest problem like chronic cough, breathlessness or if you are a smoker. Some times in these conditions, there may be prominence of bronchovascular markings.
Some times it may be a normal finding. In your spirometry only the graph is there and various parameters like FEV, FEV1, FEV1/FVC are not there. However, it appears to be more or less normal or there may be slight restriction.
If you have no symptoms and all your other tests are normal, in my opinion rhis should be a problem for your move to gulf country. You may get a CECT chest done as it may reveal if there is anything wrong with the lungs.
Hope this answers your query. if you may have any more, I`ll be glad to answer.

Brief Answer:
Get a CT chest done.
Detailed Answer:
In your case, the prominent bronchovascular markings may be a normal feature or because of repeated attacks of bronchitis(Cough in winter season). However, prominent hilar shadows may need to be investigated. Therefore, you should get a CT Chest done.
Since you have no symptoms, I do not think that you require any treatment. However CT Chest will help in deciding further course of action.

Brief Answer:
x ray does not show any scar tissue
Detailed Answer:
From what is visualized, the x ray does not show any scar tissue though the film is not of very good quality.
As I said earlier also, there should not be any problem in your visa, unless they are particular about prominent bronchovascular markings.
There is no way to remove a scar tissue left by TB except removal of that portion of lung if it is causing some serious health issues.
Yoga may help in improving your overall general health but not in removing scar tissue from the lungs.
