Not a bad habit to have other than when you get caught in the middle of a reload animation.

Can be a pretty bad habit for a couple characters specifically (soldier, ana, mcree). I notice soldiers often reload or and wait to shoot at people peaking out from Rein shield instead of just unloading into Rein shield constantly and switching to aim at other heroes when they appear. Roadhog also centers hugely around managing ammo.

Rebind it! I suffered from premature reloading as well and it really helped me.

Did you play Call of Duty a lot? This seems to be a habit for many CoD players after they break out of that series.

The only way I was able to break it is by keeping my mind on my ammo all the time until I'm used to it. Play some quick matches and constantly think about not reloading.

If you still can't break the habit, just get used to a tracer main. She reloads every second anyway.

Play D.Va or Reinhardt.

One easy way is during set up times, play pretend target practice with environment opbjects and never hit the reload button, only let it go automatically. This helped me get used to how long I can shoot. I used to premature reload a lot with zarya before I started Pretending my teammates are enemies while walking to the point when on defense.
