Preflop
This has been said many times in other hand reviews, but why are you not starting with a full 100BB stack? Odd stack sizes change the whole complexity of a hand, and you get the best learning by always playing with a full stack. Maybe there can be some merit to cap-stacking (40BB), if you are taking shots at a higher limit, but obviously this does not apply to 2NL.

With your explanation, that UTG+1 is isolating to wide against the limper, I can be on board with playing ATo. But typically its a fold against an UTG+1 open. If you are going to 3-bet, you need to go larger like 10-11BB. You could also just flat, if the players behind are passive. It keep the limper in the pot, and he is a big part of your reason to get involved.

Flop
Checking behind middle pair is completely fine. If you C-bet, you mostly get action from better hands and strong draws.

Turn
With your stack size just get it in. By making this cute little massage raise you are literally begging him to stick around and try to draw out on you, and then fold his busted K9 of diamonds or whatever on the river, so that he saves the last 40c. Make him know, you mean business, and make him pay to stick around. Obviously did not matter, since he got it in for you, but along with your preflop 3-bet this indicate, that sizing is an area for improvement.

Hope this analysis helped :)
