Simplified answers from a scriptural perspective
1. Will God love me if I keep sinning?
God is love and can be nothing else but love(1Jn4:8,16). It doesn't depend on your actions. Love is like a fire(Son8:6,Heb12:29). It purifies those that seek His help as gold(which process can even be painful, Zec13:9) and devours those that rebel against Him(Heb10:27). But the will of Love, if a man will allow it, is to bring all, even the most rebellious into salvation.(2Pet3:9)

2. Does God’s grace mean I can continue to live in sin?
This question is as a result of lack of proper understanding of true grace. If one has sincerely made Jesus Lord and is struggling with any area of sin, it means they are yet to direct/apply grace to that area, for grace is the antidote to sinful life(1Cor15:10,Tit2:11). They can activate grace by Heb4:16

3. Will I lose my salvation if I choose to keep sinning?
There are two categories of sin. There is sin that does not lead to eternal death and there is also sin that leads to eternal death, the loss of salvation(1Jn5:16-17) and every believer can commit both. The only sin unto death is the turning back(apostasy) on faith in the Lord for salvation, which is Man's only hope before God. Every other sin is a sin not unto death. But the problem with all other sin is sin brings you into bondage that takes you only deeper and deeper and if not curtailed can lead you to strong delusion and a hardened heart which can make anyone eventually commit sin unto death(Heb3:13)

4. If God loves me and my salvation is secure, then why can’t I keep doing what I’m doing?
With the understanding of 2 and 3 above, question becomes needless.

5. I can’t help myself. I’m not sure that I could stop even if I wanted to.
No one can help themselves with the sin dwelling in them, that is, habitual sin, else we need not the grace of God. Like Paul said the things I want, I do not(Rom7:15) but the grace of God in the law of the Spirit of Life(Rom8:2) will help us if we engage it, learning first how to do so.
