No you will not lose it it is yours to keep. Unless you want to officially renounce it for some reason.

No - once you are a US citizen that is it - you can't "lose" it (although you can relinquish it, and it can be taken away if they find out that you lied on your application and were really a Nazi concentration camp guard in a previous life ...)
Just remember that, whatever you do and wherever you go, you need to file US tax returns on your entire worldwide income for the rest of your life.

*exceptions apply: renouncing it in front of a consular officer for instance. Or it's found that you committed serious fraud at any one step during the immigration process, like neglecting to mention your participation in war crimes.

No, once you have acquired US citizenship, it's yours.* But you are also still required to file taxes with the American IRS.
