I doubt if you ever had Dutch nationality.
You certainly did not get it by birth if not one of your parents was Dutch at that time.

Should you have obtained Dutch nationality you will not loose it as long as you stay in the EU. If you move out you will only loose it after ten years but only if you never applied for a Dutch passport in that time.

As you did not live in NL for 10 years between the ages of 4 and 19 there is no preferred treatment as to your return.
