No, if you adjust your withholding you can lower the amount of estimated tax you are required to pay.

Dumb question. Does the extra withholding and what I pay quarterly still need to add up to $4528? Why is it so high in the first place?

Your estimated tax payments for 2019 should be calculated based on your anticipated income. If they are too high then you should adjust the calculation.
