You cannot. Deleted messages are gone. The messages are not stored in iCloud.


The best that you can do is attempt to restore old messages using a backup of your device. But, that will be at the expense of anything newer since that backup. And, if you attempt it, you'll need to turn off your Wi-Fi and anything that would allow your phone to connect to a network as it will then update using messages in the cloud.
