is there any possibility to trace packets on loopback-interface of my

See the "Windows" section at

...and note that Windows doesn't have something equivalent to the
"loopback interface" in the UN*X sense - as far as I know, it handles
traffic from the sending machine to itself by wrapping it around
internally without it passing through a fake network interface, so there
*is* no loopback adapter on which to trace.
The Microsoft Loopback Adapter looks like a regular network adapter,
with a regular network interface, and traffic sent to a loopback
address, or to another of the machine's network interfaces, doesn't go
through it.
