iPhone messages disappear

I have lost a couple important message threads recently and I’m sure it wasn’t an accidental deletion. I went to iCloud to restore and it appears my messages are not part of the backup? I haven’t used iTunes in a long time. Are they gone for good? Thanks

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
