Moose do regrow their antlers, but as they get older, they don't grow as big. Moose lose their antlers in the winter because they have to use extra energy to grow them. if they fall off, the energy that the moose uses in the summer to grow its antlers will be used to survive without much food.

What if a moose loses his antlers?

I don't think a moose could just randomly lose his antlers, but if he did I just think it would suck for him and maybe hurt, but I don't really think it would do anything to him besides losing his capability to win in fights with other moose. Loosing antlers for moose is natural especially after the rutting season ends, which is in early winter. Bulls won't loose their antlers until late winter (February-March).
