If you were not using "Messages in iCloud" then you need to restore your device from a backup that has those messages:

Be aware that rerstore is an all r nothing process . You cannot restore only messages (for example) and any information on your device between now and when the backup was created will be lost.

If you were using "Message in iCloud" then I'm afraid those message are lost since your backup no longer includes messages.
