Sinema would need to switch to the Republicans for them to lose the House officially.

Didn’t say anything about Dems losing control of Senate, it’s immaterial anyway because the Dems don’t have the House.
But if Sinema doesn’t go along party lines and Manchin, Manchin votes with Republicans, dems lose their majority. Cackling VP Harris, can’t use her deciding vote, But again, Biden’s legislative agenda can’t proceed without the control of the House.
