No, it's not fattening!! Actually it is a good diuretic. Becareful with watermelon if you are a diabetic.....it is high in sugar.......but not that fattening.
Yes, if you don't eat enough protein in a low cal diet, you would loose muscle. You need about 5 ounces protein for the day. Select a lower cal protein such as white fish, shrimp or crab, or skinless white chicken. Egg white is another good idea. Tofu is another protein source.

You will only lose muscle if you don't lift, you'll maintain what you have and as long as you are burning fat and not starving your body of calories you will not deplete your muscles.

No, its low in fat, its just water mostly! haha
But if you eat a whole one a day you could gain some! Have a couple of slices a day and you wont gain anything.

we do watermelon fasts. you eat nothing but watermelon for a few days. eat as much as you want. it's no problem. this is for spiritual reasons. it has sugar, but digests rapidly. very easy diet.
