Hi, my question here is, was it right to call pre-flop? I did it because: one villain has short stack, the second one is extremely loose.

You said MP1 was loose, but was he aggressive in those pots or just liked to take a lot of flops? Unless he's raising/3B a bunch of hands, I think we need to be concerned that you raised 4x UTG and he 3B big NTA; the short-stack has a wide enough range to call against here, but with full stacks and being OOP you need to be shoving or folding when it gets back around to you, and I would be folding without more specific reads on MP1's raising frequencies.

His stats: 44/19, 3bet 16,7. I´d like to ask, what does this number by 3bet means? I mean, is it percentage or something else?

Yes, it is a percentage of how often the player RR's PF. Someone please correct my line of thinking if I'm wrong, but let's say your table has been very passive with little raising PF (common in micro FR)... If he has only had a raise in front of him one time, and that time he picked AA and 3B, his 3B stat is going to be 100%. This is why I always like to have actually seen a player 3B light or have a large sample size on them to deviate from optimal ranges. In this spot I think his range has us crushed or we're flipping against AK and you've only invested 4 BB's. Wait for a better spot (and better position) and make that note if he shows up with a hand outside of the premium range.
How many hands did you have on villain when all of this went down?

When UTG ( us) gets 3B and cold 4B from the players next to play, I can find a fold with QQ as some of them can do this with AA/KK.
Just calling is bad. If you want to stay - shove.

We cannot call here OOP. I can't find a fold here but show strength as our hand reps only premium hands.

Thanks for responses. To be honest I´m here more for fold too, however I don´t find raise that bad as well. Call is wrong play definitely, need to work on this :)
