Does a job lifting heavy objects make you lose height?

No. It won't. Bones in your body are not going to compress under weight. But it is a known fact that you lose height during the day as the spine compresses. But, that height is regained in the night during sleep. A job lifting heavy objects will have other serious problems like back issues. So, losing height should be the least of your concern.

Everyone grows differently, no matter your parents...someone will have the same parents as their siblings, but have very different final heights/weights, so only a docter can give a realistic estimate of final height based on your bone density/growth etc.
