Brief Answer:
It's too early to sit for this age

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for asking on this platform

It's too early to sit for 3 months old baby. Baby usually starts holding his neck at 3 months of age.Baby can also turn around his neck in response to sound and makes smile at this age. Baby at this age can sit with support and with curved back. As per normal developmental process baby starts sitting without support by about 6 months age with proper balance.
So you need not to worry if he is not able to sit longer or sits with support only.

I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
