Wait wait wait. The correct order is
- Create an image file
- Create a loopback device for the file
- Run pvcreate on the loopback device
- Run vgcreate on the "physical" volume
- Run lvcreate on the volume group
- Create a filesystem on the logical volume
- Mount the logical volume
Why did you create a filesystem on the image file? What were your exact steps and what does your system look like now?
