Preflop
3-bet is a bit small, when there are two field callers. I would typically go 3x + the calls, which in this case would be 3 x 3 + 2 x 3 = 15BB.

Flop
Why are you betting here? You say, that its a bluff, but any better hand is at least two pair, and is that ever folding? You have an in between hand, that wants to pot control, so the best play is to check back and see, what comes on the turn. Any non-heart turn increases your equity against her range. So by checking here you are waiting for the equity to reveal itself a bit more clearly, and you also get to see, what she do on the turn.

Turn
As played a clear check back.

If you bet here, its a value bet, since you might get a crying call from hands like KQ or KJ. You talk about bluffing, but any better hand is at least trips, and is that ever folding? As you found out, the answer to that is "no", since you even got raised by trips. Personally I check back here and take my showdown. Its still a very ugly board for AA, so for me its enough to make one bet go in, especially when its a 3-bet pot.

Conclusion
The main lesson from this hand is the importance of understanding, why you bet. And if a bet serves no purpose, then check. It sounds like, you are betting, because you have AA and hate the board, but thats not a valid reason to bet.
