Make a cube the size of the green square, add a boolean modifier to your mesh and use the cube as the target object, set it to intersect.
For example:
All this is done from the top view, 7 on the numpad
This represents your imported .obj mesh:
Add a cube:
Scale the cube to the size you need. Hit S to scale, then hit X or Y to scale on the X or Y axis... Try it out.
Next add the modifier to your base mesh, in your case you need the Boolean modifier. Change it to "Intersect" then click the little eyedropper and select the cube as the "Object"
Then hide the cube and your base mesh should have been trimmed into the shape of your green square.

You can "apply" the modifier so it is no longer modifiable if you like.
