Simply put,No
What dictates muscle loss is not being able to keep tension on the muscle. Macro-nutrients "carbs/protein/fats" Simply modify it.
The problem that comes about,are those who do very high intensity cardio. It is not the cardio that burns the muscle,it is your body not being able to recover properly in time and not maintaining or surpassing its current lifts to maintain or build muscle. Both lifting and high intensity cardio uses fast twitch muscle fibers,usually,one of those shall suffer. If somehow your body is capable in maintaining strength while cutting or making new strength gains,even when you do high intensity cardio,no muscle should be lost.
Muscle gain is based off of Progressive tension overload;progressively getting stronger and gains shall certainly come around.
Imo,your a lifter first,high intensity shouldn't be in your regime,but it depends on the person. If your body recovers and you dont lose strength in your lifts,then continue your sprints or whatever you may do. Low intensity cardio is just as good,all depends on what you want.

VR TILL I DIE SMOKING BLUNTS UNTIL IM HIGH!!!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
