If villain calls flop with any part of board and any draw then you just have to bet the turn and ride out the variance.
You can't pin down the range of loose and bad opponents. You just have to accept that sometimes you are going to be betting into better hands but statistically they have to have worse hands more often.
The only real clue you can go by here is knowing how good a hand villain needs to check/raise the turn. The problem is there is no particular general pattern for this. Some will feel committed at that point with any reasonably good draw, others will always turn up with a hand that beats one pair, the worse will get it in with worse one pair. Most will be some sort of mix and you just have to learn what a particular players pattern is.
