Hi and welcome to the forum.
Lo is one of those words that doesn't always have a clear definition and it can function in at least three different ways, as a subject pronoun, object pronoun or definite article. When you run across the word in a sentence and don't know what it means, you often need to figure out first how it is being used.
Here are the ways that lo can be used:
As a masculine direct-object pronoun.
As a neuter definite article.
As a neuter direct-object pronoun.
With ser and estar to refer to a preceding noun or adjective.
As part of lo que or lo cual.
As part of lo de.
In various phrases.
