A weeks worth of photos gone

I took an amazing 2.5 to europe in September and noticed several weeks ago that a weeks worth of those photos are completely gone. In mid February I had to take my phone to the apple store to get fixed. I believe it was factory reset at this time. I was given a loner phone that I used til it was fixed and then I received my same phone back with a replaced system and screen. I’m 95% sure I had to set up my phone as if it was brand new. My icloud photos were turned on and backed up throughout all of this. I’ve tried to log onto icloud photos on my Macbook but the photos are not on there either. My Macbook is quite old, about 10 years and is not updated to the latest software so I’m not sure if that is an issue here too.

Any advice on how to get these photos back? Can I restore from a previous backup or does it not go back that far since they were presumably lost in February and it’s now May? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I am desperate to find these photos!
