Your water appears to be stained very dark brown in the last photo.
What is your source of water? If it is surface water coming through a forest, there may be a fair bit of tiny particles of organic matter coming into your pond. Those will decompose over the winter and consume some oxygen.
It is true that the plants in the pond that die during the winter will decompose and consume some oxygen. However, the plants that survive and get some sunlight through the ice will be suppliers of oxygen. Hopefully, you can get some beneficial plants established this year.
Keep making the holes in your ice cover, that can only help!
