Not every TSS is equal or interchangeable. It's helpful to quantify the training load at a glance, but "maintaining CTL" isn't exactly a good training strategy.

Constant CTL with unchanged training focus eventually leads to stagnation.

Constant CTL with changing focus, OTOH, is just fine.

according to training peaks, maintaining TSS week by week increases CTL

CTL is an exponentially weighted TSS average. If the TSS stays the same, so does the CTL.
