I used the condensed form: live off what ...
Perhaps it would make more sense to you if I gave the fuller wording: live off of what ...
I am lucky to be able to live off of what I am passionate about.
I would not use "love on" in the two sentences you give.
The first is okay. You are making money to live on. "to live on" explains what kind of money.
