If you were using Messages in iCloud, then I am afraid they are gone for good.

Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support

Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPhone from a backup that has those messages:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Be aware that restore is an all or nothing process. You cannot only restore text messages (for example) and any information between now and when the backup was created will be lost when you restore.
