In early 2020, Loos competed at the Winter Cup and finished 18th in the all-around.[9] He also started competing for the Stanford Cardinal in collegiate gymnastics; however the NCAA season was cut short due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

Loos returned to competition at the 2021 Winter Cup where he finished second in the all-around behind Cameron Bock.[11] He next competed at the 2021 NCAA Championships where he helped Stanford defend their team title. Individually, he won bronze on rings.[12]

Loos was selected to compete at the 2021 Pan American Championships; he helped the team win the silver medal behind Brazil, and individually he finished fourth in the all-around. Due to competing at the Pan American Championships, Loos was invited to compete at the upcoming Olympic Trials.[13]

Loos finished ninth in the all-around at the Olympic Trials and was not added to the team.[14][15] In September Loos was selected to compete at the Koper Challenge Cup.[16] While there he finished fourth on floor exercise and rings and eighth on vault.[17]

Loos placed eighth in the all-around at the 2022 Winter Cup.[18] He was selected to compete at the DTB Pokal Mixed Cup in Stuttgart alongside Colt Walker, Curran Phillips, Katelyn Jong, Karis German, and Levi Jung-Ruivivar.[19] He competed on floor exercise and horizontal bar, helping the USA win.[20] At the NCAA Championship Loos helped Stanford defend their national title. Additionally, he placed first on rings, winning his first individual national title.[21]

In June, Loos was selected to represent the United States at the Pan American Championships alongside Brody Malone, Yul Moldauer, Colt Walker, and Shane Wiskus.[22] On the first day of competition Loos competed on floor exercise, rings, vault, and horizontal bar to help qualify the United States in first place to the team final. Individually, he won silver on floor exercise behind Moldauer and bronze on rings behind Brazilians Arthur Zanetti and Caio Souza.[23] During the team final Loos competed on floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, and horizontal bar to help the USA win gold ahead of the reigning team champion Brazil.[24]
