A month ago the processing time frame was about 13 weeks. So you are still within the time frame. You can only wait so far.

you could have uploaded an upfront medical. Have you got a biometric request??
I had biometric done earlier from prior application. Medical was also uploaded last but it was done oct 2022 so it must be expired by now.

Posted processing times are just average estimates so can be shorter but much longer. Would not count on processing in 13 weeks

Applied for LMIA exempt work permit from India on Jan 6th, 2024
Biometrics updated from previous application
No further updates since then. No request for medical exam letter received yet
Planning to do an upfront medical exam next week
The processing time was 12 weeks when I submitted my application, now it's 19 weeks
Joining date is 1st July 2024. Should I be concerned?
