I have integrated a payment gateway to accept online payments for my store running on woocommerce. Everything works fine but I noticed that woocommerce is changing the order status to wc-processing for all the online paid orders by default.
As per my store’s functionality I want all the online paid orders to be in wc-on-hold status initially.
Is there any way to stop woocommerce changing the order status to wc-processing programatically?

yes there is a way, but you need to modify the payment plugin or add your own code, you can read this to understand how payments work.
Now, woocommerce use $order->payment_complete() method to handle the completed order, so you need to hook your own function to modify the status, here is the description of that method
Use this filter: woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status
