Thanks Everybody for helping me out.
I checked "pg_stat_activity"/pg_locks, but do not see any activity on the table.

So Scott's guess was correct: you've got a whole lot of dead rows in
there that will eventually be removable, but not while there's still
an open transaction that might be able to "see" them. Find your open
transaction and get rid of it (pg_stat_activity might help).
