Tough hand to play sometimes. Why not push after the flop? Also why did you push when there were 3  s on the board?
Stop doing that Oasis....

I don't think this is the wrong play at all.
You raised 4xBB Preflop with QQ - Good
You bet the pot on the flop when you are almost sure you are ahead and didnt want to give odds to draw - Good
Now, on the turn, the pot is $4.80 if my calculations are correct. Villain only has 2.35 left. So even if you check and Villain pushes here (which is likely), you are still getting over 2:1 on what might be the best hand. At this level, Villain could have called preflop with A7o and thought his 7 was still good when you bet the flop.

I agree with everything that Dude said.
If you push on the flop, you're leaving money on the table.
Well played, and better luck next time.

Don't tell Dat that...you'll see him get a swelled head...   .
Seriously he does offer some good advice. I would probably play this more like a tournament player would and do a push or huge bet/raise after the flop. The problem I have been finding at these 5/10 levels is players don't listen to odds too often and even play against the odds. That can be favorable to a player when they can take advantage of it, but when the villian gets lucky it can drive you mad just thinking of the donkey play they made.
