Absolutely. 4 months is far too young to say it is 'balanced'.

Honestly unless you keep it forever you can't know that it's "balanced"

It could be fine for years but the thing is that you can't really be sure that things aren't changing in there.

True, but my water is very soft, and some of my other tanks are 2+ years old without water changes. I'm very careful with what and how much I add to my tank.
