Make a selection with the marquee tool, then go to Image -> Crop. You can use any form of selecting for this.

Are to trying to crop or actually cut the shape of your body out of the backgroud?

When I need to cut a model out of a pic, I sometimes use the magnetic lasso tool around the person then right click Layer via Cut but it can be very stressful with those little magnets or I'll cut a rectangle around the person blow it up very large and erase the excess. I'm sure there are probably easier less time consuming ways and I'm no expert by any means but I'e had no training whatsover and kinda just learn as i go by messing with everything.
