Assuming that in a setting, souls are made of energy and that the laws of thermodynamics still apply, ensuring that energy cannot be created or destroyed. How are new souls created when a being is born?

The Gods, that's why they wipe out all mortals every now and again so that they don't breed them to death.

You turn another energy into souls. Energy cant be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed.

either pure magic or a powerful magic user able to identify the plasmasphere that surrounds earth and harness its energy to create new life, but either way magic.

Souls are recycled and sent back out into new bodies. The afterlife is designed to gradually strip a soul of its identity and purify it for reuse but it sometimes doesn't completely work which is why some people can be reincarnated.

They are not created when born. Instead they are pulled from the Well of Souls either at birth or conception. GM's call. I would also have the "afterlife" be the outsider's way of reducing detritus on the soul, i.e. the personality and memories, so that the soul can reenter the Well. At least that is what I have in my setting.

Equivalent Exchange.
It means that souls are made of somethng. Say ectoplasm or soul particles.

I kid, but in muh settan, souls tend to be recycled when they can. A soul that has died generally becomes attuned to the plane it was sent to upon death, and over the course of 200 years they become completely detached from the Material Plane, effectively becoming a different person, such as an angel or devil.
A new soul from one of the non-Material Plane planes is rare because of this system, because they're already getting fed souls from the Material Plane. This also means 'pureborn' devils or angels are both mild celebrities and paragons of their kind. If destroyed away from their home plane, a non-Material Plane creature reforms in their home- if destroyed at home, their memories are destroyed with them and the now-clear soul is sent back into the cycle- on the Material Plane. Some particularly powerful or favored beings get exceptions from gods to stick around, but this is part of why planar invasions occur- if devils are destroyed at home, they cease being devils and become mortals again.
If a new soul needs to be made, the goddess of life deals with making a new one- an exclusive privilege she has, partially because no-one else can do it.
