Answer:

Dear Author,

Thank you for your question. The peer review process does seem to be taking longer than usual. Many journals take 3-5 months to complete the entire peer review process.

Based on your question, it seems that you submitted your paper 5 months back and for 4 months, the status has been“Under Associate Editor Under Review.” I would recommend waiting for 2-3 more weeks. If the status still does not change, you can write to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal asking for an update.
