2/5 Preflop 4bet bluffing spot

I have A
7
on the Btn, all fold to me and I open for $13 (playing 2/5 with 10% rake capped at $15). An aggressive LAG in the SB reraises me to $45 and the BB folds. I know the SB likes to do this with a wide range, so I decide to reraise to $110 (too little?). He tanks for a while then calls. Effective stacks are $600.
Flop ($210) Q
J6
Villain checks, I bet $105. Too much, too little, or should I just check back since he's likely to have a piece of the flop?

You don't like 4bet bluffing these situations Minatorr? I've been experimenting with it for a few weeks and have been surprised how often these young LAGs will meekly fold preflop or after a 50% flop bet (I'd say about 75% have folded pre and another 75% on the flop.) It also seems to 'tame' their aggression for the rest of the session if they think the crazy guy on their right is likely to 4bet their 3bets 
(I agree the flop was probably a check btw, and normally I'd raise a bit bigger preflop.)

Also how often is he 3-betting here? If it’s only 10-18% that’s not ridiculous and you should def not be 4b A7o
