I followed the steps in resize /dev/loop0 and increase space to resize my /dev/loop0.

I gave the command:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1MiB of=/path/to/file conv=notrunc oflag=append count=100000

This took around an hour to complete. Here I've replaced the /path/to/file from what I obtained in sudo losetup /dev/loop0. After this I gave the command sudo losetup -c /dev/loop0, which made my system freeze and its in this state since more than 14 hours.

I do not want to do something stupid at this point. Can somebody tell me what I should do? The system is responding to ping packets but is not allowing ssh from remote systems. The original /dev/loop0 partition was 29GB.

The most probable cause of this is that you had less than 100 GB free space on the directory /path/to/file. In other words, you are appending 100 GB to /dev/loop0 from the home directory in which Ubuntu is installed (given by /path/to/file). But you have less than 100 GB free space in /path/to/file so as a result it is eating up the space on the memory. You can check the space available in /path/to/file by GParted. Hope this answers your question.
