Consider it impossible.
However look in Settings, [your name], iCloud.
If “Messages” was turned ON in Settings, [your name], iCloud then no you cannot retrieve them.
If “Messages” was turned OFF in Settings, [your name], iCloud then you can restore the entire most recent backup and lose everything else since that date. You need to erase all content and settings first.
Without a daily iCloud backup that is probably not feasible.
