If I understand correctly you ppreconise started the work not the windows as I had the attention.

no, because you have to see the surfaces in play and double glazing only saves a factor of 2 on losses and therefore they will remain even colder than attics insulated by a very large thickness of insulation.
caulking these windows with inexpensive gaskets might be enough to block air leaks ???
We must understand the origin of the cold, hidden air leaks, etc ... ???

Above all, it is necessary to insulate the walls from the outside and then change the windows in a coherent way with this insulation, but it is expensive, with an enormous gain in insulation which is worth it, if the heating expenses increase in the future.
In my opinion, do not change the windows without insulating the outside.
