I will try and explain the "loop" as easily as I can.
Think of the original timeline as a straight road. Someone goes back in time and either knowingly or unknowingly diverts it. If someone else then goes back in time to the point at which it was diverted, and manages to stop the diversion, you'd be back on the original straight road again, but, you'd also have a "loop" on that road now, which lasts from the moment time was changed, to the moment it was changed back. The original timeline after this loop is then in a sense, paved over again and leads to the original destination.
Essentially, each time the timeline is changed in a major way, if it is then "looped" so that the change is negated, the timeline after the loop will overwrite/repave itself in the original manner.
In the timeline of the show, THE end destination of the road is Barry's death in COIE 8. Wells has already looped the timeline once following a change (Barry losing his powers) so that this occurs, and to this end I think Wells is therefore responsible for looping the timeline at an earlier point as well to ensure Barry's mom stayed dead.
If Wells was just RF or Zolomon etc, he wouldn't be THAT particular about preserving timelines. It's for this reason that I don't think Wells is RF.
