Do you have to do heavy weight lifting to get muscle mass or can you do basic exercises?

I was wondering since I am not that into weight lifting and just want to gain muscle mass with doing normal exercises will it work. I know people say to do compound exercises with less reps and alot of weight. But is that necessary? Couldn’t I just take alot of Protein and Carbs , do Push-ups,sit-ups,dips,pull ups,chin ups, calf raises,front squats?
