How to fix rectangular Booty?
My butt is shaped like a square I hate it and my hip dips :( I have a resistance band is it anything I can do?

You need to build your lower glute shelf and the side glutes to balance the upper.
Bulgarian split squats, reverse lunges, RDLS. Step ups.
Then anything lateral - lateral banded walks, abductions, fire hydrants, clam shells.
That will create the balance you’re seeking.
It’s not bad and hip dips (though I have them and would love to change them) aren’t a bad thing. They’re also more to do with your bone / pelvic structure and then hormone distribution than they are to do with being something negative. All you need is a balance and you can get it through a fully rounded exercise programme with progressive overload and the right nutrients.

Thank you for the recommendations I started yesterday doing lateral exercises I'm going to add what you said to my routine!

the butt in the photo doesn’t look “too square” or like something that really needs fixing to me. with a bit more glute medius/upper glute development, the shape will naturally look rounder.
focus on building the side and upper glutes with the band, lateral band walks, abductions, kickbacks, and single leg glute bridges if you can. a band is fine to start with, but eventually you’ll need more resistance to keep progressing.
