You say people view you as loose.  This would mean that you are more likely to be called.  AA and KK are much better hands preflop than post flop.  Of course sometimes you will raise and everyone will fold, allowing you to take the blinds.  This is a much better outcome than slow playing and letting someone win a big pot from you.  Don't worry if people fold to your raise, since it is much better than getting burned by slow playing them.

My advice

Raise AA and KK PF just like you raise other hands PF.  If your standard PF raise is 3x BB, don't min raise or raise 6x BB.  This makes your hand much easier to read because people that are paying attention will notice something is up.  Also, UTG you don't really have position on anyone, so you can get into trouble post flop if your opponent hits something.  You should raise a little more than usual because you don't have position, and raise more if there are limpers.

General Wisdom is
+1 BB per limper
+1 BB for out of position

added to the standard 3-4BB raise

Assuming 1 limper, and UTG, I think 5-6BB is good.  Sure, people will fold a lot, but they can't beat you by folding.  Winning a small pot is much better than losing a large one.
