Not?

And MP3Gain is only lossless if you keep the Tags, which hold the undo values. If the tags are lost, you cannot restore the original volume anymore.

mp3gain

Sure, let's be clear. The stored audio quality remains unchanged using mp3gain -- there is no re-encode. The studio volume setting is lost, so if you consider that loss being lossy, then yes.
