This is a common issue. You should adopt an exercise in which you start by playing a reference or long tone, followed by articulated notes -- maintaining the air stream and the quality of sound exactly as you did the reference tone.
I would then suggest taking passages from your music - playing them slurred and concentrating on how well you direct your air stream the phrasing, and the quality of sound. Then articulate the same passage, making sure that the volume/support/sound quality are consistent.
It's important to realize that your tongue will learn to operate efficiently (and lightly, and quickly) when you provide it the framework of a stable embouchure and a stable air stream.
