I figure that the only hand that beats me is JT.
I also feel he could reraise with two pairs or other sets, which might be a bit more unlikely given his line.
What do you do?

Since opponent can do this with a lot of hands:
:diamond:  heart draws
:diamond:  diamond draws
:diamond:  broadway draws
:diamond:  two pair hands he thinks are good and need protection
:diamond:  worse sets

You are quite justified in putting him all-in.
It is a battle of outs -- and you're way ahead, and even if he has JT, you're ahead...

If you don't have Equilab it is a free download from that link. It is really useful for hands like this one.

Here is what it says for this hand:
(play with the ranges)

Board: K♥Q♥2♦ A♦
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    41.96%  41.96%   0.00% { KK-QQ, 22, AJs-ATs, KQs, JdTd, JhTh, JTo }
MP3    58.04%  58.04%   0.00% { AsAc }

and even if he does have JT and only JT:

Board: K♥Q♥2♦ A♦
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    77.41%  77.41%   0.00% { JTs, JTo }
MP3    22.59%  22.59%   0.00% { AsAc }

You've got outs
