This is my second hand at the table so I don't really have any reads on the players yet.
Another thing to note is that I'm very new to these stakes so I'm unsure how the player pool plays. General population read at these stakes is there's almost no bluffing. I run a pretty tight preflop strategy however it's too early for the table to know that yet. I also play without a HUD.

I decided to lead out feeling like I had a pretty decent part of this flop. When he clicked it back I wasn't really sure what to think about this. I'm not sure about my bet sizing here either.
In terms of his range I figured he had something at this point. Ax, AT, QJ or diamond draws seemed likely. AK, AQ, and sets seemed possible as well but less likely due to limp UTG.

This is where it starts to get goofy. I check to give him a chance to bet so I can raise and I feel like most of the time that will end the hand. When he reraises my raise I get a little confused as to what he has and decide to call and see the river. My thought process is perhaps he has a similar hand to mine or diamond draw, I'm discounting his AX hands now that didn't make a pair.

I start off with another check because I don't want to bet out and have him shove all of his value hands.
My plan is to call here. I feel like with the price we're offered and none of the flush draws making it, sometimes we'll split and sometimes he'll show up with worse like a set of kings at these stakes.
My reasoning for not betting is: I think that if I bet here I'm only getting called by hands that dominate me.
I don't particularly like the way I played this hand. Should I just be leading out more? or is the x/c line fine?
Does this seem like a reasonable spot to call? Is my bet sizing way too small and I'm getting confused because I'm underrepresenting my hand here? Should I be betting for value or am I just burning money by making this call?
