You should bring her to be assessed by her pediatrician. Babies develop at different pace, some faster, and some slower... but generally, by 8 months should be able to turn and sit up a bit. A doctor would be able to tell whether it is just her, or is there something else. Do not wait too long.

How is she holding her head up?
My niece was unable to roll over or sit up at 8-9months. Head support was also not too good. My sister brought her for further assessment and was diagnosed to suffer from cerebral palsy. Probably due to the lack of oxygen to the brain during the delivery. Her physical mobility is affected, mental ability is ok.

I found this online. It seems the symptoms r different from what u described. Maybe u want to go for a 2nd opinion?

Just now I have read the above article, according to that, babies with infantile spasms may lose few skills like rolling over, sitting, babbling.

Once discuss about the problem with the experts and start treatment. Do it as soon as possible because treating it in the early stages will have a better outcome.
