While switching from regular to direct for a SIP of 6 months old, what are the losses that can be incurred?

There may be some SIP transactions that carry an exit load (usually in equity funds). You also need to check for any Short Term Capital Gains in which case a tax of 15% might be applicable.

These two need to be compared with the gain you make by reducing commissions even if it is for 6 months. In some cases it might be worthwhile to wait till the transaction completes one year. For ELSS funds the wait will be three years.
