Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, A.
UTG calls, UTG+1 raises, 1 fold, Hero calls...

Here's your main problem. Raise and cap pre-flop with the best possible hand. Don't be cute and "slow-play" when you are beginning.

Flop: Cap the flop as well. You need to take control of this hand. Also, it might get UTG out of there. He's likely just fishing or is on the flush draw.

Turn: well played. With the UTG just calling, I don't think he's got the flush here.

River: No idea what UTG is doing here by leading out. Villain is obviously worried about the flush.

Well, there's nothing you could have done to get him out of that hand.
