How do i minimise my losses here?

You have minimised your losses. He has a smaller stack than you. The only time you can ever really consider being behind here is if he has a bigger stack and raises you. In this hand I can't see how you can lose any less than his stack. If he pushes on the turn for example you are calling anyway.

you could check the turn that is not a nice flop for AA

If they both check the turn, then if ChipLdr bets about 40 or so on the river, the villian will push for not much more. Same result I think.
