Recovering Deleted Messages:

What to Consider:

A. Restore from Today's Backup:

Restore your iPhone from a backup of it that contains these messages, and you could recover them.

B. Check Messages App:

If messages was enabled on your iPhone along with your Apple computer, then check and see if the Messages app is enabled on your Mac to see if it exists in it. You'd start up your Mac, not connecting to the Internet, and open the Massages app. Then proceed from there with retrieving it. Important: Be certain you do not connect to the Internet while booting up, as syncing would delete it. So, power off your router to avoid the connection.

C.  Check your Carrier’s Site:

Log in to your Carrier’s site, seeing if you can view a history there. Doing so, myself, I can see a call log going back 90 days —but not a text messages log.

Referencing the Apple support article linked above your name........

If you have installed iOS 16....and....you deleted a message after iOS 16 was installed, the deleted messages are stored in a Recently Deleted folder for up to 30 days after the deletion date. After 30 days, the messages are permanently deleted.

Permanent means just that....permanent. The messages are gone.
