Faded Wrote: Uh no, a lolicon is someone who is into lolis. Loli is a personality/appearance trait. Lolicon comes from the word lolita complex(liking young looking girls), and lolita means sexualised young looking girl.

"Lolicon" is a media focusing on the attraction to young or prepubescent girls. "Loli" is the abbreviated word of "Lolicon" hence "Loli" is derived from "Lolicon" which in turn comes from the Russian book "Lolita" which is the founding source for the "Lolita Complex". In the book "Lolita", an elderly man develops a unhealthy attraction towards a 12-year old girl that is noted at times to be sexual. From this the word derived from. Though outside of Japan some people seem to have taken "Loli" into referring to the character specifically, while also using "Lolita" for the same ends.

Though the character type it refers to are those that are "sexually precious" or "erotic-kawaii". Both make a note of it being sexual, and nothing else. So to sum that up:

Lolita is the name of a Russian book about a elderly man who gets obsessed with a 12-year old girl in both romantic and sexual terms. The word itself is more commonly used to refer to the genre, but outside of Japan it has been used to refer to the character type rather commonly.

Lolicon is derived from "Lolita" and is the name of a popular genre in Japan animation and written mediums. Most commonly manga and anime. This genre focus on sexual attraction towards either a young girl or a woman who appears to be a young girl. It is also used to sum up the "Lolita Complex" into a single word and genre.

Loli is the abbreviated form of "Lolicon" and thus it inherently means the same. It refers to a popular genre, but in later years have been more common to refer to the personality time that is the main focus of the genre. This personality type is a young girl or a young looking woman (appearing to be around 12-years old) who also act as if they were that age, with the focus to provoke a sexual response from their target audience which more commonly is young boys or teens.
