Sure! Your old one does look almost exactly like mine! What I did was remove everything from the old light. I then cut a piece of new drywall the correct size to fill that hole. I then laid 2 pieces of 1x4 (about 16-18 inches long, to span the 12 inch hole plus a couple inches of overlap on each side) on the edge of the hole. Put your patch in place and screw it into those backer boards you just put in there, then apply drywall compound. I also cut the hole for a new Junction box prior to putting the patch in.
I found the light at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/LED-Flat-Panel-Light-Fixture/dp/B01EAZ1WKC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 but it was quite a bit cheaper at Costco. Do read the few Amazon reviews though, because they are right.... It is a PAIN to get the light mounted, and it doesn't sit totally flush. I'm going to be caulking the edges to eliminate the gap.
I've been looking for retrofit kit for square, and large enough for a similar light fixture, and I couldn't find any. It's another Redditor who used these in their reno: https://www.amazon.com/LED-Flat-Panel-Light-Fixture/dp/B01EAZ1WKC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
