I've not been here long but villain has been very active in that time. Putting out lots of small bets and raises.

A few hands ago he saw me make a small bluff in a situation where I didn't think he could call my but he did with his A high and I was too wussy to fire again on the river to get him off it.

I think the preflop/flop play is pretty standard but wasn't sure on the course of action from turn onwards.

Thoughts on all streets?

I dont think worse hands are calling a bet. I check turn too, for the same reason.

What is your plan for the rest of the hand after checking the flop?

Av, we are only looking to put 1 bet in postflop with this hand.

Given that I have position, I am trying to make it the latest street possible.

With that flop the first thing I think of is that its going to be a small pot or I am gone. I check the river, bet/call the turn, on the river if he fires you know he has a real hand and can fold, if not you can check behind for a cheap showdown. Im hungry and sleepy so take FWIW.
