I'd definitely start value betting lighter. I'd also start raising a little lighter so when they do call you down on low boards you'll have a better chance at actually having something, than just constantly c-bet/folding AK, AQ, etc. And with such a nitty image, if you start raising lighter, you can c-bet those A hi and K hi flops and boards and get them to fold.
When they usually raise you at some point in the hand, do you ever see what they are raising with? Are they doing it with air, draws, small pairs? If that's the case, and they're doing that because they know you fold a lot, then stop folding so much. Either start playing back at them a bit or start playing your stronger hands a little more passively and let them build a pot for you.

I know it's villain/situation dependent but generally, what kinda flops/textures/no of players to the flop do I cbet given my image? I just wanna get some thoughts on how to deal when facing uber aggression very frequently
Like I said above, I would widen my opening range, take advantage of my nit image and bet those dry, high card boards.
Also, I don't know what stakes or how deep this game is, but 3 betting these guys light could be fairly profitable. Not necessarily super light, but if they think you're such a nit, they'll either fold pre, thinking the nit has a monster, or call and you can c-bet boards that should be hitting your perceived 3 betting range.
If your natural game is on the tight side, I wouldn't suggest going crazy trying to match their aggression. It can get very uncomfortable trying to play against good, or even decent, aggressive players. And when you're uncomfortable, that's when you make the most mistakes. I would suggest slowly putting some of these things into play.
I don't post on here often, because I've never been very good at putting my thoughts into words, so I hope this all makes sense(or at least a little bit).
