welcome to TM!
I think you should expect just about what you have described.
You have range because you probably learned how to do it right many years ago. Your tongue is where it belongs and you aren't "pinching" the lips off.
Tonguing is always gone very quickly, so only serious practice will help here. I say, be greatful for what you have, practice a lot and keep us informed! Slurs, tonguing, long tones...................
A 3C is a good mouthpiece size to start with. The student horn may slow you down after a couple of months.
