Comments on 4bet sizing preflop and flop? Misclicked preflop, it should've been 2.50 but as played how should the 4bet be sized?

I feel my flop bet is way too strong and makes for a rather awkward turn bet. How differently could I have sized this?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop

Hero (MP2) ($54)
CO ($52.55)
Button ($72.85)
SB ($50)
BB ($88.30)
UTG ($76.40)
UTG+1 ($52.25)
MP1 ($50)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, A
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero bets $2, CO calls $2, 3 folds, UTG raises to $5, Hero raises to $10, 1 fold, UTG calls $5

Flop: ($22.75) Q, 6, 9 (2 players)
UTG bets $3.50, Hero raises to $20, UTG calls $16.50

Turn: ($62.75) 4 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $24 (All-In), UTG calls $24

River: ($110.75) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $110.75 | Rake: $3

I use a rough guide of around 2.5x the 3-bet.
Just playing to improve.

yeah, but you should add the caller's money so we'd get 14.5
