Aligning Multi-line Caption in list of figures

Question

I have modified my list of figures so that it includes Fig. figure number before each caption in List of Figures. This done by using the following code.

{%
\let\oldnumberline\numberline%
\renewcommand{\numberline}{\tablename~\oldnumberline}%
\listoftables%
}

However, I am not able to align figure caption which extends to second line. What should be done to align the multi-line figure caption in list of figures.

You would have better luck modifying \l@figure and \l@table, which set the indentation, — John Kormylo, Mar 18 '18 at 17:21

I tried the suggestion in above comment. However its showing following error ! Undefined control sequence. \l@figure ->@tocline — S.Dev, Mar 19 '18 at 04:13
The first step is finding the current definition of \l@figure, which usually depends on the document class. \meaning\l@figure would belp. (don't forget \makeatletter ... \makeatother) — John Kormylo, Mar 19 '18 at 16:53

I am able to get alignment using this code

\contentsmargin{1cm}
\titlecontents{figure}
  [2.5cm]
  {}
  {\makebox[0pt][r]{%
      \makebox[2.5cm][l]{Figure~\thecontentslabel}%
    }%
  }
  {\hspace{-2.5cm}}
  {\titlerule*[6pt]{}\contentspage}

However, in some cases the page number comes down
