SB is 65/12/0.8 UTG is 14/12/1.3

Despite being a bit of a trad, the SB cc seems like a lot of strength, epecically with the 7 showing up. This is somewhat countered by the 3rd player who is definetly behind, I think there is a fair chance UTG would call a raise with a weaker A.

Please explain why you raised the flop. That is a horrible board for your hand. On top of that, UTG has shown no hatred for his hand thus far.

In order to win here,

1) UTG must have a worse Ace or KQ
2) the others in the hand must have not flopped any kind of a pair
3) you must catch up if UTG has 88-QQ
4) you must dodge draws.

Do you really think that any of the above will hold true? I don't. I think that you can peel here given the pot size, but raising is spew.

Call the river, the way you played.
