I have been feeding Luna alfalfa pellets. She is 4 months old, when is it time to give her vegetables?
Diet question!

You could start now. Small amounts to begin with so she can get used to them, but you can increase over a few weeks.

You could start changing the alfalfa pellets to young adult pellets, these contain less alfalfa in them. I still give my bunnies a handful each of pellets in the morning as part of their diet (I give them Excel for young adult rabbits) and they just love them. If we don't give them pellets every day they get sulky.

Veggies can be started any age 
just do it gradually
Slowly switch her from the young rabbit to adult closer to 6months. Same with the alfalfa to timothy hay. But not both at the same time.

Is it ok if I switch her to Timothy Hay soon? Like within the next few days? What do you mean not at the same time? No alfalfa pellets + tim hay at the same time or no alfalfa and timothy hay at the same time?

Don't switch both her hay and pellets at the same time.
You could go ahead and start switching her hay now by mixing in a little timothy or other grass hay in with the alfalfa hay and just slowly increase the timothy while decreasing the alfalfa. When she gets closer to 6 months you could start switching her pellets over.
