I know that the short stacks psuhing range here is any pair kq+ and i have no idea what the caller's range is.

Fold. There was another caller in front of you who could already have you beat. Also, the blinds are still relatively low so there is no reason to risk your decent size stack here.

I re-push
The callers range at a 25 seems to be very wide. There's a lot dead in the pot re-push and get it heads up. If you happen to be against a smooth caller with JJ+ so be it but its usually +EV to poosh.

Instead of repushing why not call and push a low card flop. JJ-AA is stacking you already, so that's irrelevant, and in the 25's aj+ is probably not folding preflop, and you can push them off a missed flop.

I think calling is the worst option all i'm doing is letting the caller catch up. To call my repush he probaly needs ak, aa ,kk ,qq or jj in the 25's most guys arent calling with aj

No rush. Fold and find a better spot.

Oops I guess I underestimated there calling ranges. In that case I don't like calling as much as you are getting much more FE if you push.
