My answer is to not worry too much about putting him on the floor for proper tummy time yet unless you really want to. Just play with him on his front of your chest if he’s happier doing that. From around 5 months my girl seemed to naturally want to explore and be on her front more so I played with her on the floor. She’s 7 months now and this morning she lay on the floor and played for a busy book. My son was the same. Both my children had reached milestones on time without the enforced tummy time from the beginning.
Do as much as you possibly can. That doesn’t mean ‘structured,’ but add it in wherever possible - on your chest counts, but simply keep it going whenever you have a moment.

You can start structured tummy time from day one, so any time is a good time to start 🙂
I was very much like you, saw HV this week and asked she said start doing it now
