Couldn't fold AA

So I was playing 6Max NLHE and the following ensued.

I'm on the button with AA and a stack of 361BB, everyone fold to CO (stack320BB) who limps in.

Hero raises to 4BB, blinds fold.
Villain raises to 21 BB
Hero raises to 40BB
Villain Calls.

So far so good? Otherwise let me know.

Flop comes 469 (4 Diamond, 6;9 clubs)

Villain checks
Hero bets 39BB
Villain calls

Turn comes 5 of hearts.

Hero bets 50BBs
Villain raises to 123BBs

This is the Point where I was hoping to get some help but if you have any other pointers during the hand feel free. Should I fold here? Call? After the preflop play i put him on a Another high pocket, possibly AK. But this last play probably took AK out of the equation.

I ended up shoving my remaining stack in and villain showed 45clubs.

So, should I have played differently, if so then how? And more importantly why?

Thanks for your help :)

Vs the limp reraise im not sure what the perfect sizing is but i would go much larger than 40bb when it's 320bb effective stacks. Id be making it more like 70bb-80bb around 3.5 to 4x villains limp reraise. This min reraise really just allows villain to flat 100% of their range getting fantastic odds on the call+implied odds. On the turn im definately not fist pumping but after putting in 130bb. I think were commited and hoping villain has enough 77 88 flush draws and over valued hands like TT-KK. So i guess call the turn and call the river is probably correct i cant see myself folding to often here although the other option is to check back and bluff catch the river

Will def try and raise bigger and check out a implied odds articles/videos as to not make the same mistake. Been a Little scared to scare away people when I'm sitting on AA but I guess that bit me in the ass.

Thanks a lot:)

I don't have much experience in deep stack poker but the min 4/bet (which screamed I had AA), considering the size of the effective stacks had to be a mistake because like the previous poster said the villain had implied odds to stack your AA. I would have raised it to 80bb. That, and this is where I might be showing some inexperience in deep stack poker, but would exercising some pot control preflop in order to evaluate later streets without getting pot committed by the river be the optimum play?

On wet boards ye for sure but how scary is a 964 two tone flop if we raise to 80bb pre ? id likely just play a two street game at that point by betting the flop and shoving the turn.It would be interesting to know if we have the ace of clubs.Because that reduces the flush combos for villain if the turn completes the draw.And it also gives us a redraw to the nut flush if were behind on the turn.

Not very scary if we raise 80bb preflop unless the villain is a total fish I agree.
