Since you haven't played for so long there is definitely some embouchure strength that is going to need to be built up again. The danger of playing with a fatigued embouchure, of course, is developing bad habits to compensate.

My best advice would be to practice long tones making sure your embouchure remains steady (and is good in the first place). Then spend much more time focusing on the air. If you aren't playing with strong, consistent, and directed air, then there are all kinds of crazy things your embouchure will try to do to make a good sound.
