I would first remove the window and then frame the inside of the concrete hole with tight fitting wood. You can even glue the wood to the concrete. canned foam is amazing for adhering wood to concrete. After you get it framed in with wood installing window should be simple
I did a similar project recently. I removed the old window and the cement/mortar around the window to allow for a level surface. Next, I installed pressure-treated wood around the opening using special screws available from Lowes/Home Depot that are specifically for screwing into concrete. There is a special drill bit that you use to predrill before you screw the boards into the walls. After I was done with this, I still needed to replace the mortar around the window, because it was not possible to get the wood frame completely flush with the concrete, and I didn’t want water getting in.
I think you will need to call a mason to help you out with this job if you don’t want to do it yourself. They are probably the ones that put the window in there when it was built. Good luck, and feel free to let me know how it works out.
