Many people mistake a loose cylinder for the normal cylinder play while the gun is in the unfired position with the hammer at rest, the trigger forward. With the gun in the fired position, the hammer having hit the firing pin and the trigger pulled back, the cylinder should be somewhat tighter and not have as much play. This is normal, to have more play in the unfired position and should not be corrected. For a true "loose cylinder" with too much play or movement, you would have to replace the cylinder and yoke assembly and then fit the revolver with a new hand to time the action properly. This requires skill and is not an amateur undertaking.
No need to remove the cylinder. If it needs maintenance to fix a problem, take it to a gunsmith
If it's a modern revolver, you activate the cylinder release, open the cylinder, and push the ejector rod.

Revolvers hold cartridges in a cylinder. When the revolver is operated, the cylinder turns (revolves) to align a cartridge with the barrel. Originally called a Revolving Pistol, shortened to revolver.

Well, a revolver is a type of pistol (although revolving rifles have been made) which used a rotating cylinder to hold the ammuniton, and a firearm is considered loaded when there is live ammunition in the chamber and/or feeding device (such as a magazine or cylinder), so a loaded revolver would simply be a revolver which had live rounds in the cylinder, and was ready to be fired.
A revolver is a type of pistol that the cartridges are in a chamber in a cylinder. The cylinder revolves in the gun (hence 'revolver') bringing each successive chamber in alignment with the barrel. A revolver could have five chambers, it could have ten. The most common would be five or six.
