Most mobile carriers use carrier-grade NAT.
And then your mobile broadband router probably also does NAT itself.

If you don't have a public IPv4 address assigned to the WAN side of your router,
there's not much you can do at home.

You could rent a remote server (VPS) to set up a Tor bridge or non-exit relay.
Some of them even have free trials for a few months.
