How to add the "Figure XX" and "Table XX" numbering in the List of Figures and tables?

Question

Currently my LoT and LoF only shows numbers and short captions e.g

    2.1 Bathimety map.....1
    2.2 Other stuff ......2

But I would like to have them listed in the LoF and LoT as

    Figure 2.1 Bathimetry map......1
    Figure 2.2 Other stuff.........2
Table 1.1 Cool stuff...........3

What do I need to change in my code (report class with chapters)?

\documentclass[hidelinks,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[paperheight=28cm,paperwidth=22cm,tmargin=25.4mm,bmargin=25mm,lmargin=38.1mm,rmargin=25.4mm,heightrounded]{geometry}

%\renewcommand{\listoffigures}{\begingroup

%\tocfile{\listtablename}{lot}
%\endgroup}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@caption}{\csname the#1\endcsname}{\csname fnum@#1\endcsname:}{}{}
\renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{4.5em}}
\let\l@table\l@figure

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\makebox[\textwidth]{ 
\includegraphics[height=.5\textheight]{Map.png}}
\captionsetup{format=hang}
\caption[Bathymetry map ]{\textbf{Bathymetry}}
\label{fig.B1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Off-topic: Do get rid of (or comment out) the material between \makeatletter and \makeatother, do get rid of the statement \usepackage{caption}, and do change \usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption} to \usepackage[font=bf]{caption}. Making these changes will let you change \caption[Bathymetry map ]{\textbf{Bathymetry map}} to \caption{Bathymetry map}. — Mico, Nov 17 '23 at 19:32
@user133467 - Since you load the caption package, I can see no reason for basically ignoring its machinery in favor of some very low-level mucking around with \@caption. I'm also comfortable claiming that \caption{Bathymetry map} is a lot easier to maintain than \caption[Bathymetry map ]{\textbf{Bathymetry map}} is. Of course, you're entirely free to either increase or decrease the value of the third argument of the \cftsetindent directives. — Mico, Nov 17 '23 at 20:51
Awesome, THANKS A LOT!!! This solved all my issues, I understand that your fix on the [labelfont=bf| vs [font=bf] lets me ignore all \textbf commands in each caption - significantly easier! — user133467, Nov 17 '23 at 20:54

I suggest you add the following code to your preamble:

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\renewcommand\cftfigpresnum{\figurename\ }
\renewcommand\cfttabpresnum{\tablename\ }
\cftsetindents{figure}{0em}{4.5em}
\cftsetindents{table}{0em}{4em}

Adding this code at the end of the preamble of the OP's test document and recompiling the test document twice yields the following result for the List of Figures page:
