Magento 2.3 get custom category attribute in .phtml file

I have created a custom category attribute title_description and is showing on the admin side and I can save data. But when I try to show the value on the frontend using getTitleDescription() it is not showing anything. It is working for default category attributes like getName() and getId(). In my block I have created the function

public function getCurrentCategory()
    {
        $currentCategory = $this->registry->registry('current_category');
        return $currentCategory;
    }

And in .phtml file I am calling

$block->getCurrentCategory()->getTitleDescription()

It works on other pages where I am using a collection of categories and looping through it. But not working when calling an individual category

    You can add your custom attribute to Magento’s list of attributes that it’ll load by default when loading categories.

    Create a file called catalog_attributes.xml in the etc folder of your module.

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Catalog:etc/catalog_attributes.xsd">
    <group name="catalog_category">
        <attribute name="title_description"/>
    </group>
</config>

    Note that the group is called catalog_category, which is the group for auto-loaded attributes. This file is capable of doing other things as well, which you can learn about here.

    You can also try adding

    public function getTitleDesc()
{            
    return $this->getCustomAttribute('title_description');            
}

    In your block and then call the function.
    Note you should flush the cache before calling it.
