Go on a high fat, low carb diet. The first few weeks can be tough, but as long as you maintain that lifestyle the cravings will go away. As it is now, your body only wants to use carbs as energy, but can't survive with the amount of sugar your diet would put in the blood. So it has to store most of the sugar as fat. Then instead of burning that fat, your body tells your brain you are out of energy and need more sugar. Once your body figures out it isn't going to get anymore sugar, it will stop the cravings and just burn fat instead.
There are different ideas on what it means to be low carb. I am not suggesting a meat and cheese diet. Most people just need to avoid the processed sugars, and flours. Fruit juices can also be a problem as well. Most carbs should come from more natural unprocessed foods such as vegetables. Vegetables really don't taste as bad as people think if you aren't afraid to use fat to add flavor. Overall a diet with natural foods will naturally make your carb intake much lower than the standard diet many people eat today.
The absolute best way is to simply get all the junk food out of the house. I have a sweet tooth as well and I lost 45 lbs. by keeping the bad stuff away. Of course, I also work out six times a week and I ate less in general, but it helped a lot not to have temptations ni the cabinets.
Caveat: This is harder to do you if you live in a big city and you can just walk out the door and get all sorts of junk food in minutes. :)
Force yourself to eat so much junk food that you literally get sick of it and can't even look at it anymore 😂
Purposely replace those unhealthy snacks with good tasting healthy snacks (they do exist)

Don't cut back, cut off. Throw it out and shop with a list. Don't buy it. If you don't keep junk in the house, you'll learn not to want it because it's not easily accessible.
Daily mantras. Repeat multiple times a day that junk food is horrible for you. Trust me it works
