Just a single milestone has no significance. Her overall development must be assessed. Visit a pediatrician

Usually babies attained head control by 4 months, if there is no history of delayed cry or other significant perinatal event. Look for any abnormalities in other developmental domains also beside motor development
Next Steps
Reassess the child after 1 month

You can give gentle coconut oil massage to baby on daily basis and continue vit D3 drops
