My suspicion is that you're editing Lua. If I do so (with
ft=lua), what you describe just works. E.g. having this:

-- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

And using gq} will result in this:

-- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
-- tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

So my suspicion is that your vim doesn't recognize what you're
editing as being Lua. What does ":set ft" return?
