On the contrary actually (at least in my recent experience). I took weight gainer all the way up until December this past year and stood 205 pounds at 6'. For the new year, I stopped taking weight gainer and gave up soda as my New Years resolution and have slowly lost 10-12 pounds since then. Today, however, I hit a personal best on the bench press. I am also way stronger than I have ever been despite the recent weight loss.
I think as long as you eat healthy, that's all you need to gain or keep muscle.
. But if you are really concerned about losing muscle, look into Glutamine as a supplement. It's cheap, and it's supposed to prevent muscle loss/catabolism (that's a gross oversimplification, but you get the point). I take it and love it!
