Villain is a winning reg. Could he be bluffing with draws here? For value I think he could have only at most 4 combos of sets, maybe some 54s (don't think he should be cold calling preflop with them), maybe AJ sometimes too? Is it worth calling him down?

You kinda have one of the best hands to call down here, you block some of his value range and none of his bluffing range (AsJs is better than AcAx here). But most regulars play very honest in mw pots, so it really depends on what type of reg you have in front of you. I'd play like you, specialy when the 4 pairs, his value betting range goes even more down.

After call turn he can discount most of ur flush draws (especially if he had fd also ) therefore he bets for a pure value with a full house in the majority cases,indeed line for a small pp overcalled from blinds, easy fold = easy game
