Default KQo And unsure of every street

I’m pretty new to NL and this hand came up recently. Only have stats on villain and it is 21, 13, 1.5 after 85 hands. Basically unsure of every street but mostly about flop and turn. But firstly, is KQ strong enough to open with UTG?

Is this flop even worth to c-bet 3-handed w/ only K high? Don’t think I fold out many better hands and only getting a few worse fd:s to call.
On the turn should I fire again on this scare card and hope to fold out lower PP:s or a pair of T:s or just take the freecard and hope to improve?
And the river, good bluffing opportunity?
Thought I had some interesting decisions in this hand that I’m unsure of so I hope for some good replies, also on what bet sizes.
Thanks

5handed I would open KQo depending on my image, and the looseness of the CO and BTN. If they're tight, I would open with it.

This flop is dry enough to c-bet, IMO. As played I'd bet when the Ace hits the turn. You want to fold out any weird 2x and 4x, IMO.

On the river, I'd check behind. I don't think you can fold out too much that beats you.

The turn card is a great card to bet. You should put enough pressure on him to fold out 55-99, if that is what he has. If he is weak enough, you may fold out jj-kk although these are an unlikely part of his range. I think his turn check means 55-99 unless he has a set and was going for a check raise. But since you didnt fire the A on the turn, I think a bet on the river here is getting looked up light.

Id fire at that turn, but check behind on the river because your getting looked up a lot of the time.
