Sir Karl Popper suggested if a theory includes a description of how it can be observed to fail by outsiders, it is science. And that science is not about accepted or unaccepted ideas, professional or amateur research, but only falsifiability. He suggested science is one kind of explanation that has utility but expressly said it was not the only or best explanation.
Pseudoscience is making claims that are falsifiable. If you don’t make falsifiable claims you aren’t engaging in pseudoscience but you are engaging in philosophy.
