Why My 4 Month Baby Is Not Able To Balance Head

I have a 4 months old baby who is very floppy. He can lift his head and chest for sometime during his tummy time, however, when I lift him in an erect position he has a poor control over his head. Also, his body is not firm and seems very floppy. He is actually 4 months 1 week. He rolls over both the ways.
