Hero (BB): 105.6 BB
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 5)
MP: 138.2 BB (VPIP: 36.17, PFR: 28.37, 3Bet Preflop: 7.81, Hands: 434)
CO: 30 BB (VPIP: 53.33, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)
BTN: 56.4 BB (VPIP: 15.34, PFR: 13.64, 3Bet Preflop: 8.82, Hands: 179)
SB: 168.8 BB (VPIP: 29.69, PFR: 7.81, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 66)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A:diamond: T:heart:

fold, fold, CO calls 1 BB, BTN raises to 8.4 BB, fold, Hero calls 7.4 BB, CO calls 7.4 BB

Flop: (25.6 BB, 3 players) 9:diamond: Q:diamond: K:diamond:
Hero checks, CO bets 21.6 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 21.6 BB

Villain was playing pretty loose and I thought I was ahead of his range. Thoughts?

Fold or 3-bet pre-flop if he was larger stacked. Since he's short, just fold.

On the flop you're committed, but I'd rather be shoving than c/cing.

CO got fishy stats but BTN look like a TAG who try to play out CO with his preflop rise. I think you shoud fold at this moment. It will be hard to play with ATo OOP. If you hit A still don`t know that where you stand agains BTN.

Easy fold, It is not worth it (too risky).

I agree, I would have folded this hand preflop, especially against the button's sizing. Was 7x standard opening raise size in this game?

To your original question: Why do you think you are ahead of his range with an unimproved ace, a monotone KQ9 board, and an all-in shove against a large preflop raise?
Even if he was playing loose, that would mean he has a lot of hands in his range and there is more possibility he could have connected with the flop. Shoving all-in to a preflop raiser is further indication he is stronger than you think. For a quick run-through, lets look at a sampling of hands could be beating you. Flopped flush, straight (JT), sets, two pair, AA, JJ, TT, 88-22, AK, AQ, KJ, QJ, J9, T9, and these are just the reasonable hands. Throw in some other possibilities if he is playing really loose (like 95s) and you can see there are a lot of combos. Now, some of the combos we assume he would raise or three-bet preflop, but it doesn't reduce the possibility down enough, especially with the shove on the flop. I think the real icing on the cake is the fact he could have AJ, a hand that missed the flop, like you, but is still ahead of you. All of these combos coupled with the action suggest folding to his shove.
