Tough spot, but I really think you can fold to that turn check-raise. You can definitely fold on the river.

I'm not sure I like the steal with K9o from CO, but I guess it may not be to bad. Probably depends on the table.

Flop I think is fine.

Turn, hmm you are getting 9.75 to 1 on the flush draw (plus maybe a little for two pair trips). I think the call here is ok given the flush draw with 3 higher diamonds out.

River missed us, not sure here. We only have to be ahead like 9% but I don't think we are. In fact calling the turn may be sketchy if we end up committing ourselves to the river.

Since you 3-bet the flop, you should fold the river. I would have called after the flop check-raise. This might keep button around padding the pot with some junk hand. It also allows BB to overplay a hand like QTs, thinking that he has you stuck chasing after your flop continuation bet.
