In addition to what Cornbread allready said:
Preflop:
Either just call or 3bet on the larger side, around 20 cents. Make them pay. We are not here to hold hands and let our opponets see flops with every garbage Hand they like to play. All preflopactions from all players involved in the hand show that they are probably weak opponents. Weak opponents like to see flops with a lot of bad hands, so we make them pay for that.
Flop:
-If we raised preflop: We c-bet the board and go broke on it. Meaning if he raises we jam on him and if he calls we c-bet jam the turn. Villain Probably doenst care and will call us anyway with his AJ. But think about it this way, if we play that hand a million times, we will allways have AQ+,AA, 99 and our KQs. Against that range of hands Villain will allways loose money.
-If we called pre: Dont donkbet! Unless you were the preflopraiser (initiative) or you have a very clear understanding of how to balance youre range in these spots just dont do it. Play youre draws x/c or x/r looks stronger and youre hand is not as faceup. Dont forgett you have a pretty decent draw, a K high bluff, but not a made-hand. If it would come to the showdown now you have K high, wich is not a strong hand.
Considering weak players like this like to play a lot of aces, and generally i wouldnt advice to bluff theese players at all, because they just wont fold, i say the best approach is to x/c (check/ call)
-Turn blanks, we should check again, villain will bet into us and if we get correct odds we call.
-Turn doesnt blank, lets say 2 of clubs comes, we check, villain might stab again and if he does we jam into him.
-River blanks, we chek fold
-River doesnt blank, lets say 2 of clubs comes, we check, villain might stab again and if he does we jam into him.
Players like theese like to be the sherrif at the table and look everyone up. They wont fold theire Ax most likely, if he is scared (what he should btw) we take down a decent pot oop. And if he actually believes he has value on the River and bets again, well, then its payday 
And obv. as played that call on the river as you played it is beyond any reasoning imo. No front, but sometimes the truth hurts a bit
