I am a Parx tournament reg and am having difficulty playing 30-50 blinds. I find I am either playing too tight or shoving too light. I need advice on how to play this stack size more effectively.

The following hand is from a recent Thursday $120 Parx reentry tourney. I have been playing well and am the table big stack with 21k. Villain is young indian player in a suit, seems medium skill level with limited experience. Villain has 18k. Blinds are 300/600/75.

H is in BU with AQo. UTG limps, MP limps, V in HJ raises to 4.5k, H tanks and shoves. Folds to V who calls with AK.

Pre is a pretty dumb raise size by HJ. 3K would be more than enough. Due to the fact HJ is comitting over 25% of his stack with this raise size, and given your perceived edge on the field, this is a fold.

The raise from HJ is just so large that it shouts big hand, I think (unless we have observed otherwise) he never ahs worse than AQ, I'd be folding, we can find much better spots.
