Does Masturbation Cause Loss Of Muscle?

Hi I'm 13 years old and a male. I am 5 foot 7 and about 120 pounds. I've had no bad medical history with anything. I masturbate everyday and I'm starting to get scared. I don't know if what I'm doing is dangerous to my body. Is it true that masturbating makes you lose muscle. I lift weights and I can't afford to lose any muscle.
