I knew i should have 3bet pre, but what about the fold on the flop?

i had reads on RJ79, that he was willing to shove most of the top part of his range to a 3bet. Which in this situation would leave me having no choice but to fold preflop. I was also very suspicious of his min raise and then again on the flop from UTG. In the heat of the moment, i decided to play it as shown above, but the more i look at it, the more i get confused to what i should have done here.

Maybe, a squeeze play pre would give me some indication of the strength of RJ79's holding. When it come to my preflop flat, i can't understand now why i ever did that.

Now onto the flop, i'd hit TPTK on a dry(ish) looking board, so i thought now would be the time to gauge information on what im up against. To no surprise at the time i was then min raised once again, this is where i decided to fold and go with my read. Another question, was peeling another card of then re-evaluating the turn a good play in this situation. Being OOP and most likely going to be facing another bet (wether he has it or not), i opted against it.

Villians most likely holdings: JJ, QQ, KK, AA

If u felt he had such  a big hand why did you not fold pre, I can not think of a better hand for your AJ so the call does not make sense if your folding to this flop.
