If you go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, is the switch turned on for Messages?

If it is, you won't be able to retrieve any deleted texts.

If it's turned off, then you would need to have a backup that contains the messages you are trying to recover.

If you have such a backup, then you'd need to restore your phone to that backup.

Note that doing this will lose any data between now and when this backup was made
