Is the door out of square or you mean the door opening?

It's also possible the hinges are worn/loose letting it sag.

Not enough to know for sure what is the actual cause; therefore, can't
say what is proper remedy.

Unless somebody has trimmed on the door or it's actually failing, it's
more likely the opening isn't square or hinges, not the door itself.

That can be it was originally framed out of square, there has been
settling of one side, etc.

What's the gap on all sides at top and bottom and hinge/latch side?
