Narrative:
On visual approach to runway xxr at ZZZ; LLWS led to loss of altitude on short final and stall warning horn. [I] was able to recover and execute a go-around. [The event] occurred within airport property but prior to the runway threshold. I would estimate that I recovered at approximately 50 ft. Above the ground [and] 200 ft. Prior to the runway threshold; which is way closer than I would want to be. As a lower-time pilot; I don't have high confidence in my measurement estimates.I don't believe the ATIS was reporting gusty winds; so I didn't add speed to vref as I was trained to do in gusty conditions. I think my takeaway in the future is I will add speed to vref in moderate turbulence conditions as well because of the potential for LLWS. When executing a visual approach to xxr at ZZZ; aircraft are typically asked to keep base turn within 2 miles of airport; which makes it hard to execute a stabilized approach to final; especially in moderate turbulence conditions.
