during the hand i made the check back fairly quickly and called the turn. But as i thought about it so i realized villain can play this spot well. My hand looks a lot like mid or low pair on the flop 'with something' but my outs aren't particularly great as they either discounted or gives villain a better hand.
I need him to be stabbing the turn fairly often. He can very well just have a better hand too

I can see reasons for both checking and c-betting flop. I guess it comes down to how you want to split your range. It's tough because unless your range is well balanced the check means you rarely have a strong hand and a switched on villain (maybe unlikely at NL25) could try to take the pot away with almost anything. For that reason I might prefer checking back some TpTk type hands with the intention of calling down.
If you do c-bet I think you also should be calling a raise and continuing if you pick up more equity on the turn. If we just get called the way the board runs out in this hand I think we'd check turn and hope to get to showdown which we should do unless he rivers 2 pair as if villain had a big hand on the flop we'd likely have heard about it.
As played I think it's totally fine.
