If the setting Link loop points to time selection (on your Preferences, Editing Behavior page) is enabled then when you make a new time selection the loop selection changes with it. The toggle command Loop points linked to time selection on REAPER's main Options menu turns this preference on and off. With this option disabled, you can define a loop by clicking and dragging along the timeline, and a time selection by clicking and dragging within arrange view. You can use the Alt key while you click and drag along the timeline to set both the time selection and the loop selection together.

Note: The Actions List (chapter 15) include actions to move or copy the contents of a time selection to the cursor position. These are Time selection: move contents of time selection to edit cursor (moving later items) and Time selection: copy contents of time selection to edit cursor (moving later items).
