If you install the current version of Wireshark (>= 3.0) you get the option to install npcap. This can provide you the loopback interface you're looking for.

Basically I want to have the Microsoft loopback adapter with my own defined local IP address and udp port on which I want to read packets. Is this possible?

I doubt very much that the Microsoft Loopback Adapter is what you need. As @Jaap suggests, try installing npcap. Also, you can read more about loopback capturing on the Wireshark Loopback capture setup wiki page.
