This has been my tactic for the last few years. Doesn’t work for everyone, like my ex spouse couldn’t handle it. I keep rough track of calories and if I have a craving for trash I either eat less of it and supplement with low calorie stuff to still feel full, or do a bunch of extra exercise that day
Conversely, though, remember that unhealthy nutritional choices can mess with your immunity, cause inflammation, and really screw with your day-to-day energy and sleep. Nutrition is always a story performed on a much more complicated stage than weight=calories in - calories out! (Though that equation is a good signpost that guides the plot.)

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don’t overeat

Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed
