You should be able to use just:

  iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 192.168.0.12 -p tcp --dport 80 -
REDIRECT -to-port 3128
  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

squid.conf:
   http_port 3128 transparent

If that still won't work:
  - Ensure that your squid has ONLY one transparent option
(--enable-linux-netfilter) configured.
  - Check that squid is receiving requests (access.log or cache.log)
  - Check squid has access outbound (usually cache.log)
  - Check whether NAT is failing (cache.log)
