Typical calling station.

Preflop : I know, little bit too loose

Flop: Easy bet

Turn: I think I am ahead of villains range, most of the time he has something like straight draws, straightdraws with pair, straightdraw with some overcard etc and because he is huge calling station I decide to shove, because he will often call my with these types of hands. Unfortunately sometimes his hands will be better than mine, but most of the time this shove is profitable. Furthemore if I bet turn like 50-60 cent and rivers bring Q J 7 or6 I dont know what to do because there are 4 to a straight. All in all I think turn shove is best option, but I wouldnt do it against for example tight reg. Is my though process good?

well I would bet less on the flop 2/3ps and on the turn I would bet the same most of the time. Shoving just isolates you vs better hands. bt if you bet turn and get raise mway than you definatly know you 2pair is not the best hand and have an easy fold. You have to figure out yourself which hands you want to bet and if you get raised you know that you are beat. That is a good thing because you loose less money with hands you are beat anyway. Its called an information bet. Most of the time you use it in bet/fold line or thin value lines

If I would raise pre-flop I would make it around 10c with in mind you deal with a penalty blind on the CO.
Flop seems standard and on turn I would bet around half pot. If you over bet shove you get only action of 2 pair and a straight I think or you have reads on him.

why do you choose this flop sizing?

I actually like the on-the-larger-side flop bet for protection. I really don't like the turn. though. You almost only get called by better hands. A lower bet is better. If you induce a shove by him it's still much better to call that shove than to shove yourself. I would likely fold to a shove, though. T9 and QJ are more likely than something like AT, KT and JT.
