Was I too aggressive with AQo?

I don't have any reads. I usually 3 bet with AQo when there are a number of other callers. In this case there was only one. Can someone tell me if this is right? Normally I would just cold call with AQo unless there are number of other ppl calling.

Don't 3-bet AQo against a UTG raise from the SB dude. That's really bad poker.

Your turn checkraise is really really bad poker. Are you hoping for him to fold a worse hand, or raise you with a better one? Because those are your options the vast majority of the time.

My line is call pf, bet the flop, call the raise, bet the turn, and if i get raised again I call down.

the turn checkraise is bad.

Without a read, fold AQo to an UTG raise.

Unless I know UTG to have very low preflop raising standards
AQ off is an auto-muck for me.
