Of the SSRI's, Prozac has been the most weight neutral for me, even enabling me to resist sweets. Venlafaxine (Effexor) unaugmented was not weight neutral for me, and did indeed cause severe carb cravings. Low dose Remeron (Mirtazapine) was really really bad for me.

Adding 5mgs of Adderall in the morning and 10-20 mgs of Prozac to the Effexor/Remeron combo did help significantly with the cravings. Serzone did not seem to cause weight gain for me, but it also did not do the job I needed it to do. Wellbutrin was an unpleasant experience but did not cause weight gain or cravings, but I did not stay on Wellbutrin for more than 3 months, so not sure what it does long-term.

Prozac is my long-term SSRI of choice partly due to it's weight neutrality.
