You have to enable takebacks in settings in order to have that option in game.
Go to settings, under the tab of "Game behavior" you can find an option to enable takebacks (in casual games, always and never). Note that this will only toggle the ability to request a takeback, it doesn't mean that you have to accept one if you choose "always".
If you have takebacks enabled, there should be an icon next to the draw offer one which looks like an arrow. This is the "propose a takebakc" button.

I hope I have helped, feel free to ask any further questions :)

Takeback is the arrow pointing to the left
