Should I use Loft or something else?

Hello,
Looking for some help because I've been trying to find how to do this in all the tutorials and I'm getting nowhere very fast. I'm trying to draw a shell around a square shape that has the corners fillet to the same shape but larger on the back. I'm basically trying to use revolve but it does not work on square shapes and loft is giving me an error so it doesn't even draw. Basically I would like to make a step down enclosure. Excuse my crude red drawing snipping tool was the quickest tool to snip and edit I could find. Thank you for your help.

Draft outer walls:
Draft inner walls:
If the top wall dimensions are critical you would have to use trig to work out the angle. Otherwise you might have to use surfaces or some other construction technique (of which there are many).
