Not specific to loopback devices, but in some cases I use fuser to
kill all procs associated with a mount... You may also need to remount
it as read-only before unmounting and maybe use the -nr option to
umount.

Note: ISO9660 file systems (CD/DVD images) can only be mounted

already will be mounted read-only.
