Low lying placenta detected at 16 weeks should not be a cause for concern. As the pregnancy grows, it may not be low lying any more.
Please get a repeat sonography done at 20 weeks.

A low lying placenta can only lead to pregnancy loss if you bleed profusely

It does not lead to pregnancy loss but chances of bleeding are more.
It generally moves upwards as the pregnancy advances.
