He's not going to make himself President for life if he legitimately loses.

"Of course" except nobody else has done this. One of the lessons Trump has taught us is that norms aren't binding, only laws are. And norms make up a lot of the balances we traditionally put up against abuses of power from presidents or presidential candidates. E.G. Trump never released his taxes which has been an assumed part of the process for ages
I dunno exactly how a loss would pan out... The most likely scenario is litigation on a state level in possibly multiple key states. The least likely option is him literally refusing to leave office and having a Scarface scene in the white house. But you honestly can't rule anything between the two out.
