just 4bet AKo OOP and your life will be much easier. If I face that 13.5bb raise I would have just pushed all in. It's the more +Ev for sure.
On that flop you have to fold, you have no real backdoors to justify a call.

Yep, 4bet pre mostly. If he 5bets I guess you can fold, you will be flipping at the best case often.
Check fold flop. With no position dont be creative against such tight 3 bet ranges vs UTG at this stakes.

This is always a 4b/shove pre flop by just flatting the 3b not only do you put yourself in situations like this postflop OOP you also give MP great odds to come along with almost any two...

Are you sure? If you play 4bet/shove vs UTG or MP ... with QQ AK .... mayority of time you will se KKAA, same if the 3bet vs UTG/MP.... its NL10 nit land pre flop---

This will always depend on the notes I have on players, I won't necessarily always be shoving but i will almost certainly be 4bing so that i am not playing a multi way pot with a premium hand...

You have more chance of them showing up with QQ in this situation than AA-KK as your blocking both those hands and vs QQ you have over 43% equity..
