My H1B is approved and will begin from 1st October. I wanted to travel internationally on my student visa valid till 2024.

If I return to the US before October 1st would I risk losing my H1B visa ?

You have an approved H1B petition, you’ll never ‘lose’ it, unless revoked by employer/uscis for fraud reasons. You can use it at anytime to get a valid H1 visa stamp at a consulate and enter back on it. The real question is why not just get your visa stamped and enter on H1?
