If you eat sensibly and exercise properly and use your body's energy in the day, you shouldn't gain weight on a vegetarian diet.
There are so many proteins and other foods on a vegetarian or even vegan diet. You don't have to "fill up on carbs". There are so many options for healthy cheap food.
Nut burgers, bean burgers, Quorn (if you're vegetarian, not vegan. Also eggs and cheeses if you are vegetarian, not vegan.) Tofu, lentils, beans, seeds....and all the things that can be made with them or they can be added to.
It's not just about carbs and vegetables. And vegetarian/vegan protein doesn't have to be more expensive than meat if you shop wisely. I find my vegan diet costs much much less than buying meat and fish.
