Both are correct. It depends on the part of the country you live in, or the way you've heard the word. In my case, the word for the female relative was said like "aunt," while the actual person's title was pronounced like "Ant..."

Either. It depends on where in the USA you live, and, how you were taught to pronounce it. I'm from Houston and say "ant." My New York cousin says "aunt."

According to dictionary.com, it is pronounced as "ant" or ahnt". Hope this helps you.
