It is normal. Wait for some more time. Single milestones are not important. Overall milestones and anthropometry give a full picture. Please visit a pediatrician for check up

the end of 6 months of age, most babies are able to roll over. Since your baby is 4.5 months old, there is no need to worry at this stage.
Give your baby plenty of supervised tummy time every day, as it helps strengthen the neck, back, and shoulder muscles, which are important for achieving this milestone.
Continue to encourage floor play and monitor your baby’s milestones..

At 4.5 months, not rolling from back to tummy can still be within the normal range. Many babies roll between 4–6 months, and some learn tummy-to-back first while others do the opposite. As long as your baby has good head control, moves both arms and legs equally, smiles, interacts, and is otherwise developing well, there’s usually no need to worry.
Give plenty of supervised tummy time every day, encourage reaching for toys, and avoid prolonged time in swings or bouncers. If your baby is still not rolling by 6 months, or if there are concerns like poor head control, stiffness, floppiness, or using one side much more than the other, then a pediatric evaluation is recommended.

Yes, this is completely normal for your baby.rolling happens later.Tummy-to-back rolling usually starts around 4 to 6 months.Back-to-tummy rolling requires significantly more core strength.
